Returning Characters and New Faces
“Marshals” will feature a select group from the original “Yellowstone” series. Key returnees include:

The Dutton Family Legacy
To understand Kayce’s motivations in “Marshals,” it is essential to recall key events from “Yellowstone.” Major developments include:
- John Dutton’s Death: John Dutton, Kayce’s father, met his tragic end during the final season. Initially thought to be a suicide, it was revealed that he was murdered in a plot orchestrated by his lover Sarah Atwood and aided by his son Jamie.
- Jamie Dutton’s Disappearance: After a violent confrontation with his sister Beth, Jamie’s fate remains unclear. Beth stabbed Jamie, leading to his body being hidden, leaving authorities unaware of his death.
Kayce’s Journey
In “Marshals,” Kayce grapples with his dual identity as both a U.S. Marshal and a member of the Broken Rock community. His ties to the Indigenous group strengthened through his marriage to Monica and their son, Tate.
Kayce’s relationship with Thomas Rainwater flourished, as they became blood brothers. Kayce also sold a significant portion of his family land to Rainwater, ensuring it would be preserved, demonstrating his commitment to the community.
