Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.

For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider’s news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.

He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.

His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan’s work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

The Duttons have spent years fighting to keep hold of their land, but rebuilding it is going to take a little help from their friends. Luke Grimes’ Kayce Dutton has already been through enough on the ranch to last several lifetimes, and in Collider’s exclusive sneak peek at his latest chapter, two familiar faces from the Yellowstone years arrive to lend a hand. Things don’t stay quiet for very long.

With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Kayce has joined an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty, and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence. Collider is delighted to exclusively debut a new clip from the latest episode of Marshals, which sees Kayce and Andrea** **arrive back at the ranch before Thomas Rainwater and Mo stop by.

Rainwater and Mo aren’t there for trouble this time. They’ve come to offer their help rebuilding the ranch, bringing together characters whose relationship with the Dutton family has changed an awful lot since the earliest days of Yellowstone. It’s a rare moment where everyone appears to be on the same side, but this is the Dutton ranch, so peace and quiet can only last so long. As the group talks, Luke suddenly hears something nearby, immediately putting everyone on alert. We won’t spoil what happens next, but you can watch the exclusive clip below.

The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.

You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.

You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.

It’s always good to see Grimes with two of the Yellowstone OGs, Gil Birmingham and Mo Brings Plenty, who reprise their roles as Rainwater and Mo. Rainwater spent much of the original series fighting the Duttons over the land their ranch occupied, while Mo became one of the family’s more trusted allies as the story went on.

The cast of Marshals is led by Luke Grimes (Yellowstone) as Kayce Dutton, Logan Marshall-Green (Upgrade) as Pete “Cal” Calvin, Arielle Kebbel (The Vampire Diaries) as Belle Skinner, Ash Santos (American Horror Story) as Andrea Cruz, and Tatanka Means (Killers of the Flower Moon) as Miles Kittle. Brecken Merrill returns as Kayce’s son Tate, alongside fellow Yellowstone veterans Mo Brings Plenty as Mo and Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater.

The latest episode of Marshals airs Sunday, October 11 on CBS. Stay tuned at Collider for more.
