Yellowstone’s Kayce Dutton Spin-off Is Already Signaling a Major Change for Taylor Sheridan’s Long-Running Western Franchise

Over the years, many have pointed out that Taylor Sheridan has a habit (whether bad or not is up for debate) of writing every episode of every major show he creates. He did so for LandmanLioness, and the first season of Mayor of Kingston, and has also penned nearly every installment of the Yellowstone universe to date. While Yellowstone‘s second season featured a writer’s room (and was the only one to do so), Sheridan is still listed as a co-writer on every episode, having likely rewritten many of them himself. So, for Y: Marshals to go a different direction is a big deal, especially since the franchise was his first venture into television and arguably his most notable work. For Sheridan not to be as heavily involved may come as a surprise to longtime fans, but it’s probably for the best.

‘Y: Marshals’ Will Benefit From New Voices in the Writers’ Room

Again, Sheridan is still involved in Y: Marshals from a producing standpoint. It’s unlikely he’s going to let Kayce’s story go anywhere he wouldn’t approve of, and that’s a good thing. But allowing new writers to take a crack at Kayce and his story will allow the character to move out from beyond the Yellowstone shadow, that of both Sheridan and John Dutton, who have largely controlled his destiny to this point. We may finally see other sides of Kayce that the fifth and final season of Yellowstone only teased, and it’s about time. There are plenty of reasons to be excited about Y: Marshals, and knowing that Kayce’s story is going beyond Sheridan’s initial Dutton drama is one of the biggest.
