'I was really on the fence.' Luke Grimes on why he agreed to 'Marshals'

Kayce Dutton rode off into the sunset with wife Monica in \

Just when Kayce Dutton finally found TV peace, Luke Grimes got pulled back into the “Yellowstone” universe with "Marshals."

The 2024 "Yellowstone" finale seemed to close the book on the battle-scarred modern-day cowboy, riding into the sunset with wife Monica (Kelsey Asbille) and son Tate (Brecken Merrill). Even Grimes assumed it was goodbye. It wasn’t.

A call from “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan ultimately secured Grimes back in the saddle for the Western procedural “Marshals,” premiering March 1 (CBS 8 ET/PT and Paramount+).

“I was really on the fence when Taylor called and said, ‘I’m not going to tell you to do it, or not to do it. But meet them, because it’s a good idea for a show,'" says Grimes. “This character is really his baby. But he really wanted this thing to take wings on its own."
