With its scheming ranch family, sweeping Montana vistas, and gritty frontier justice, Yellowstone was always going to be popular, but one particular scene turned into a neo-Western masterpiece. Taylor Sheridan first introduced the world to the Duttons when the show premiered in 2018, creating a TV universe that comprises several Yellowstone spinoffs .
Yellowstone 's Dutton family proved to be such a hit with audiences that some of their stories will continue with even more shows — Kayce Dutton's spinoff, Y: Marshals , will premiere on CBS in spring 2026, while Beth and Rip's spinoff is also in the works . Really, these characters are so interesting we'd watch them read the phone book, but we especially became hooked on their stories after this explosive Yellowstone scene.
