Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone Spinoff Success Bodes Well For One Upcoming CBS Show

by

Despite the potential challenges of the Y: Marshalls storyline for the Yellowstone universe, the strong performance of 1923 on streaming shows that this Western series could be a big hit on traditional television. Taylor Sheridan has become a leading figure in TV, alongside Ryan Murphy and Shonda Rhimes, largely due to the expanding Yellowstone franchise.

Taylor Sheridan has had mixed success in movies, with films like Wind River doing well and Those Who Wish Me Dead not performing as strongly. However, he’s found tremendous success on television. Yellowstone was a massive hit for Paramount+, consistently attracting more viewers until its final episode in December 2024. The show’s spin-offs, 1883 and 1923, were nearly as popular as the original series.

Y: Marshalls Brings The Yellowstone Franchise To Network TV

Okay, so I’m really intrigued by the new Y: Marshalls show coming out in 2026. It’s a big move for the Yellowstone universe because it’s the first actual sequel. Basically, it picks up right after season five ends and follows Kayce Dutton, played by Luke Grimes, as he leaves the ranch and joins the military. It feels like a real gamble, but I’m curious to see where they take it!

But the most significant change for the show isn’t just a new story. Y: Marshalls will premiere on CBS on March 1, 2026, making it the first Yellowstone series to air on traditional network television instead of a streaming platform.

While Kevin Costner has found success on streaming platforms with shows like Mayor of Kingstown, Landman, and Tulsa King, Y: Marshalls might face challenges transitioning to traditional network television. These previous hits were all streamed online, and network TV often has stricter content restrictions, which could be a hurdle.

1923’s Streaming Dominance Proves The Yellowstone Franchise Is Still Huge

Despite the new show Y: Marshalls coming soon, Taylor Sheridan’s fans likely won’t be disappointed, considering his recent success with streaming. For example, in July 2025, the first season of 1923 became a top 10 show on Netflix worldwide, even though the last episode had already aired in April. This demonstrates continued strong interest in Sheridan’s shows.

It wasn’t surprising when 1923 became a hit, as the season finale had already attracted 14 million viewers upon its initial broadcast. Even though Yellowstone concluded in 2024 and its prequel finished earlier in 2025, 1923’s strong performance on streaming platforms demonstrates the lasting popularity of Taylor Sheridan’s shows.

Given the consistent popularity of shows like Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown on Paramount+, Y: Marshalls is likely to be a huge hit. Considering the incredible success of 1923, the Yellowstone sequel Y: Marshalls could even bring Westerns back to mainstream television in 2026.
