CBS has ordered a spinoff of the hit Western as part of its 2025-26 schedule. Currently titled Y: Marshals (with the “Y” standing for Yellowstone, of course), the show will star Luke Grimes, who will reprise his role as Kayce Dutton from the main series as he joins “an elite unit of the United States Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring justice to Montana,” according to the show’s synopsis. It is set to premiere in spring 2026 and is one of seven new series the network will launch next season.
Spencer Hudnut (SEAL Team) will be the showrunner for Marshals, and will serve as executive producers with Taylor Sheridan, John Linson, Art Linson, Grimes, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin and Bob Yari. Like all Yellowstone-verse series, the show hails from MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios.
The network’s new crop also includes the dramas Boston Blue, CIA and Sheriff Country—all spinoffs of current or recently ended CBS shows (Blue Bloods, FBI and Fire Country, respectively); a single-camera comedy called DMV; and unscripted shows The Road, America’s Culinary Cup and Harlan Coben’s Final Twist, a true-crime series hosted by the best-selling author.
CBS has also rescheduled a number of its veteran series, moving FBI from Tuesday nights to Monday nights (when it will be paired with CIA) and creating a three-hour NCIS block on Tuesdays. The latter move returns NCIS, which enters its 23rd season in the fall, to the night it aired its first 18 seasons. NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney will follow at 9 and 10 p.m., respectively.
Sheriff Country, starring Morena Baccarin, will lead into Fire Country on Friday nights, and Boston Blue—which follows Mark Wahlberg’s Danny Reagan in a new city—will occupy the 10 p.m. slot that Blue Bloods calls home for most of its run.
In announcing its schedule Wednesday, CBS also planted a few seeds for the 2026-27 season. FBI and Ghosts are on multiyear orders that will take them through 2026-27. The channel will also get Einstein, a procedural starring Matthew Gray Gubler that it originally ordered for next season before deciding to push back a year. Additionally, the channel has opened a writers room and ordered 12 scripts for Cupertino, a Silicon Valley-set “David vs. Goliath” legal drama from Elsbeth and Evil creators Robert and Michelle King.
