What Kayce Dutton's Yellowstone Spin-Off Going to CBS Means for the Future of the Franchise

Well, it's official: the Yellowstone narrative is continuing with Luke Grimes' Kayce Dutton, but not the way any of us thought. Rather than heading to the Paramount Network or directly to Paramount+, the next Yellowstone sequel spin-off will be broadcast on network television via CBS. But what does the Grimes-led series, currently titled Y: Marshals, mean for the future of the larger Yellowstone universe? Is Taylor Sheridan changing the entire tone of the neo-Western franchise? It sure seems that way, but maybe that's actually for the best.
