OutKick reports a second trailer for the Yellowstone spinoff Marshals—featuring Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) as a U.S. Marshal in Montana—premiering March 1, 2026 on CBS and promising high-octane action, gunplay, and family-vs-duty stakes in the Yellowstone universe.
CBS’s Yellowstone spinoff Marshals debuts March 1, following Kayce Dutton as he joins a Montana U.S. Marshals team 15 months after Yellowstone, with Luke Grimes leading a new 13-episode cast in a grounded, real-world procedural that expands Kayce’s family dynamics and Rainwater’s arc (premiere 8/7c on CBS).
Ground around Yellowstone’s northern caldera has risen about an inch over a 20-mile area since July, a deformation linked to deep magma movement. Scientists say this is normal activity for the hotspot and not a sign of an imminent eruption, noting Yellowstone hasn’t erupted in about 70,000 years. Public reporting and USGS footage emphasize there’s no eruption threat at this time.
USGS scientists report a roughly one-inch uplift over a 19-mile area near Yellowstone’s Norris Geyser Basin, likely due to deep magmatic activity about 10 miles beneath the surface. It’s considered part of the Norris Uplift Anomaly and does not indicate an imminent eruption of the park’s supervolcano. A separate Yellowstone study found deep-borehole microbes spike around earthquakes, revealing subsurface life dynamics with implications for life-detection on other worlds. In short, Yellowstone stays geologically active, but a cataclysmic eruption is not expected soon.
Six years of remote cameras and kill data from Yellowstone show that after wolves were reintroduced, cougars avoid wolf‑kill zones and favor deer, aided by terrain that allows escape. The elk portion of cougar diets fell from about 80% (1998–2005) to 52% (2016–2024) while deer rose from 15% to 42%; younger, smaller females hunt more deer, older and larger males still tackle elk. The findings highlight how two top predators can reshuffle prey choices and stress the importance of prey diversity for coexistence, with implications for wildlife management where wolves and cougars coexist.
A nine-year GPS-based study in Yellowstone shows wolves and cougars coexist mainly through avoidance and shifts in prey, rather than direct confrontations: wolves often take over prey carcasses that cougars have killed, while cougars switch to smaller prey and use escape terrain to minimize encounters. Diets shifted over time (wolves increasing bison and deer, elk share dropping; cougars moving from elk to deer), and cougar deaths occurred primarily when escape terrain was unavailable. Wolves suffered deaths mostly from natural causes or human actions, with no cougar-caused fatalities recorded. The findings suggest coexistence hinges on behavior and landscape, not dominance, informing wildlife management as these predators recolonize the region.
Kelly Reilly says the Yellowstone finale felt rushed and disappointing, noting Kevin Costner’s abrupt exit altered the arc and that behind-the-scenes drama likely shaped how it played out; she believes the ending would have looked different if Costner had stayed, and she’ll remain in the Yellowstone universe with the upcoming Dutton Ranch spinoff on Paramount+ expected in 2026.
Paramount+ debuts the first teaser for Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone-adjacent series The Madison, featuring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell as a New York City–Montana duo navigating grief in a Montana river valley; the neo-western centers on the Clyburn family, with Will Arnett as their therapist, and Sheridan serving as creator/executive producer. The Madison premieres March 14, with two other Yellowstone spin-offs in the works: The Dutton Ranch and Marshals (debuting March 1 on CBS).
The Madison, a present-day Yellowstone-verse spinoff from Taylor Sheridan starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, debuts on Paramount+ on Saturday, March 14, with first photos released; the six-episode series follows the Clyburn family across Montana and Manhattan, described as a heartfelt study of grief, resilience, and family love in Sheridan’s expanding universe.
Paramount+ will debut The Madison, a Yellowstone spinoff from Taylor Sheridan, on March 14.

Taylor Sheridan is filming his projects 'Lioness' and a 'Yellowstone' spinoff across North Texas, with casting calls available for those interested in being extras.
The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone has been linked to an ecological cascade that benefits the ecosystem, but the extent and causes of this impact are still debated among scientists, with some questioning the strength of the trophic cascade and the role of wolves versus other predators.
NBCUniversal is in the process of securing a deal with Taylor Sheridan, creator of Yellowstone, to move his projects from Paramount to NBCU, including a film deal starting next year and a series deal expected after 2028, although no official confirmation has been made yet.
