You’re absolutely right! There’s definitive news about an original “Yellowstone” cast member returning for a sequel series.

Fans of “Yellowstone” can rejoice as a beloved original cast member is officially returning to the Dutton universe. Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce Dutton, is confirmed to star in a new sequel series tentatively titled “Y: Marshals.”

Here’s why this is significant and exciting:

• A Direct Continuation: Unlike the prequels (“1883,” “1923”), “Y: Marshals” is designed as a direct sequel to the original “Yellowstone” series. This means the story will pick up after the events of the main show’s conclusion.
• Kayce’s New Path: The series will follow Kayce as he transitions into a new role, becoming a U.S. Marshal in Montana. This provides a fresh direction for his character, combining his past skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL with law enforcement.

• Potential for Other Returns: While Luke Grimes is the only confirmed cast member for “Y: Marshals” so far, there have been strong reports and speculation that Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) and Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler)are also expected to return for a separate, currently untitled sequel series. This suggests that the core Dutton family saga will continue in multiple forms after the main show.
• Filling the Void: With the original “Yellowstone” series having concluded (and Kevin Costner’s controversial exit), these sequel series starring familiar faces are crucial for continuing the franchise and giving fans more of the Dutton universe they love.

This confirmation of Luke Grimes’ return as Kayce Dutton is a major piece of “Yellowstone” news and assures fans that the story of the Dutton family and their legacy in Montana is far from over.
