LOS ANGELES – Taylor Sheridan and “Yellowstone” star Luke Grimes are coming to CBS with a new show, “Marshals.”
CBS Entertainment chief Amy Reisenbach announced the new show May 7 as CBS unveiled plans for the 2025-26 TV season. The new “Yellowstone” spinioff is planned for Sunday nights starting next spring. “Marshals,” a tentative title, follows Grimes’ character Kayce Dutton.
The TV son of John Dutton (Kevin Costner) “puts the Yellowstone ranch behind him and joins up with the marshals using his Navy SEAL skills and cowboy skills to bring justice to the Montana range,” Reisenbach said.
Few further details were revealed, and it’s unclear whether Monica Dutton (Kelsey Asbille) will join her TV husband, who was last seen in December’s “Yellowstone” finale on Paramount Network. Fan-favorite couple Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) and Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) are expected to star in their own, still-unannounced spinoff.
Addressing a question about Sheridan’s penchant for big budgets for his stable of hit shows – which include “Landman,” “Lioness,” and “1923,” – George Cheeks, co-CEO of Paramount Global, said that the budget for “Marshals” will be similar to other CBS shows. The show will air on Paramount+ after premiering on the network.
Sheridan’s direct involvement in the show is another aspect that is still being worked out. “We’re still early in the process,” Reisenbach said. “Taylor is a very busy guy; we’ll take what we can get.”
CBS adds ‘CIA,’ ‘Blue Bloods’ spinoffs, new ‘DMV’ comedy
In addition to ‘Marshals,’ CBS is adding new series next season, including several spinoffs of popular shows:
The “FBI spinoff “CIA,” starring Tom Ellis (“Lucifer”) as the CIA lead working alongside an FBI agent.
“Boston Blue,” starring Donnie Wahlberg, who moves his “Blue Bloods” character Danny Reagan to the Boston PD, where he’s joined by Sonequa Martin-Green (“Star Trek: Discovery”).
“The Road,” a new singing competition series that goes out on tour with musicians, featuring Blake Shelton and produced by Sheridan.
The comedy “DMV,” set in a drivers’ test center, starring Harriet Dyer and Tim Meadows.
The “Fire Country” spinoff, “Sheriff Country,” starring Morena Baccarin.
But the network is delaying planned drama “Einstein,” starring “Criminal Minds’ alum Matthew Gray Gubler, until the 2026-27 season.
CBS addresses ‘unfortunate’ cancellation of ‘Equalizer’
For the first time, the network addressed the May 2 cancellation of “The Equalizer,” starring Queen Latifah, after five seasons. Reisenbach called it “a tough decision.”
“It’s never easy to end shows,” Reisenbach said, pointing to a “full” schedule.Reisenbach said that “Equalizer” creators were aware of the possibility of the show ending, allowing them to craft a “satisfying” ending for fans in the May 4 finale.
Other CBS canceled shows include “FBI: International,” “FBI: Most Wanted, “S.W.A.T.” and comedy “Poppa’s House.”
Donnie Wahlberg moves to ‘Boston Blue’ with Sonequa Martin-Green
Wahlberg, who played New York police detective Danny Reagan on “Blue Bloods” for 14 seasons, introduced his new “Boston Blue” spinoff and co-star Sonequa Martin-Green (“Strange New Worlds”). Martin-Green will play Det. Lena Silver, the eldest daughter of a prominent Boston law-enforcement family.
“It’s been quite a journey for the last 14 years; we had a very special show,” said Wahlberg, addressing his New York City tenure on “Blue Bloods,” which starred Tom Selleck.
Wahlberg declined to give specifics about the show and whether “Blue Bloods” regulars like patriarch Selleck will appear on the series. Ironically, the Dorchester, Mass.-born Wahlberg will have to pretend to hate Boston as his transplanted Reagan family character. “That is going to be tough,” he said.
