Luke Grimes Gives Update on ‘Necessary’ Crossover for ‘Marshals’ & ‘Dutton Ranch’
Exclusive
Yellowstone siblings Luke Grimes and Kelly Reilly think that a crossover between their spinoffs is not only a good idea, but a necessity. The actors each lead their own titles on different networks: Marshals on CBS and Dutton Ranch on Paramount Network/Paramount+. TV Insider got the inside scoop for our Marshals Season 2 fall preview, and while Grimes confirms there won’t be any crossovers this season, he says that he and Reilly feel it’s “necessary” down the line.
Grimes, Reilly, and Cole Hauser have all expressed interest in having their Yellowstone worlds collide on their spinoffs, but Grimes has kept his comments brief until now.
“It’s not out of the question that we might have some sort of crossover at some point,” Grimes told TV Insider. “Beth’s basically Kayce’s only living family member other than Tate. It would make sense that down the line we’d at least talk.”
“[Kelly and I have] texted about it back and forth a lot,” Grimes added, “talked about how it’d be fun and necessary for our story arcs, however they’re going to end.”

Rescuing Tate (Brecken Merrill) is the top priority in Marshals Season 2, premiering October 4 on CBS, but Grimes knows that Kayce will need to see his sister again at some point.
Marshals follows Kayce Dutton (Grimes) and his son Tate as they make a new life for themselves in Montana after the tragic premature death of Monica Dutton (Kelsey Asbille).
Kayce and Tate are still living on what’s left of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, East Camp, but a rich rancher named Tom Weaver (Chris Mulkey) is trying to take it for himself, and he kidnapped Tate in the Season 1 finale to do it.
Dutton Ranch Season 1 is set after Monica’s death, but due to when the two shows were written and filmed, Monica’s death couldn’t be worked into the plot of Reilly and Hauser’s spinoff.

“I think Beth misses her brother, so I would love that to happen,” Reilly told TV Insider after the Dutton Ranch Season 1 finale. “And we were all very close. Wes Bentley, who played Jamie, Kelsey. We were a family, and we miss them very much. So the more we can get back in, that’s what we’re fighting for, Cole and I. Where we get our wishes, we would love to have as many back in our world.”
“I would absolutely imagine that there’ll be some checking in on her brother, and we just didn’t see it this year,” Reilly noted of Monica’s death, adding, “I think it’s something that was a missed opportunity, quite honestly. But we’re all both trying to start up these big shows. And I think we can see where there are gaps and we see where things needed to be fixed. And that’s what you get the opportunity to do in a Season 2.”
Beth and Rip (Hauser) are dealing with their own kidnapped son, Carter (Finn Little), in Dutton Ranch, which is set in Texas. Season 2 is currently in the works.

I think Marshall's and the Duttons should do a crossover. I really thought that would happen on season 2 when Tate got kidnapped. I can't believe it isn't. And as for the naysayers. Marshall's and the Duttons are 2 of the best shows on TV. It broke my heart when they canceled Yellowstone and that they didn't do another season of 1923 . That should have had one more season. But they need to keep Marshall's and the Duttons going for as long as possible a few more years at least.

I was really hoping Kasey would have called Rip and Beth, since they are in TX, and said “I need your help”. The team up and go save both boys.

I would love to see a collaboration of the two shows. Great idea!
-

If they could legally do a crossover Beth and Rip wouldbt have taken a horse and a baby calf to a motel 6 after the fire In EP1 they would have went to Caseys

So Tate is kidnapped and in Texas but there isn't going to be a crossover?? Make it make sense.
-
V
Why not? It's being done little by little on Boston Blue
-
M
Two different stations. Boston Blue just has characters coming on.

I was so hoping that Kayce and the other Marshalls would be worked to help rescue both boys on both shows. That would have a made a fantastic storyline!
-

Love to see Ryan, teeter, Lloyd join Dutton ranch… help run that ranch
-
C
I think we can even make more episodes of Yellowstone as well I dont think it should be the end of Yellowstonestone...
-
R
Marahalls would never make it on Paramount. Not the same caliber. Dutton Ranch would help it immensely.
-
D
Love the two shows to go together that be the best . It was more exciting when Beth and her brother went together and they were all together who was way better show

Both story lines need to address where Jamie is. He was the Attorney General but is “missing” and the Governor’s murder was not solved. Marshalls set the stage for this plot crossover in episode 3 or 4, but these plot lines and the “Train Station” need more development from Marshals and Dutton Ranch.

Marshalls isnt even close to representing real life as a US Marshall. So phony and fake in its actions that im surprised it made it back for a 2nd season....and Tate getting kidnapped? Again? You must have have run out of ideas.
-
P
I would think they should do crossovers. Not only did Tate get kidnapped, Carter also got kidnapped.
-
J
Sorry about that Dutton ranch would have a crossover .
-
J
I thought Marshalls and Denton ranch but have a crossover because of the boys getting kidnapped.
And I would like to see Kacey and Andrea get together cause I don't think Kacey and Dolly make a good match. And also because of Dolly's dad doing the things he's doing. I just don't like Dolly!!!

A great idea cuz I can't keep up with everything
-
G
No never! Don't need any more half naked women on the show!

Absolutely not, Marshals was terribly written, directed and acted show, It felt like a soap opera. Wasn't even directed by the same people. Terrible show. Beth & Rip feels a lot more like yellowstone with better acting, casting and directing.

M
Doesn’t really work when they are on two different stations. We don’t get the Dutton Ranch show
-
D
CBS (or whoever it is) owns Paramount, so they can work together.

Paramount owns CBS

There was nothing tragic about Monica’s death, that character was always whining and complaining. I’m glad she’s dead.
