After the show came to an end, it was announced that the actor would be headlining his own series for CBS, which follows Kayce as he leaves \u201cranching life behind to join an elite unit\u201d of the U.S. Marshals while &#8220;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\u2019s war on violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The show debuted earlier this month with Grimes, <strong>Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, Brett Cullen<\/strong> and <strong>Logan Marshall Green<\/strong> leading the cast. Longtime fans of <strong>Taylor Sheridan<\/strong>&#8216;s <em>Yellowstone<\/em> universe were shocked, however, when the first episode revealed the death of Kayce&#8217;s wife, Monica (<strong>Kelsey Asbille<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Showrunner <strong>Spencer Hudnut<\/strong> later explained that the death happened after they realized Asbille, 34, wasn&#8217;t available to appear on the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/yellowstone-spinoffs-still-works-shows-160055282.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Which \u2018Yellowstone\u2019 Spinoffs Are Still in the Works \u2013 And Which Shows Are Currently Delayed?;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Which \u2018Yellowstone\u2019 Spinoffs Are Still in the Works \u2013 And Which Shows Are Currently Delayed?&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Which \u2018Yellowstone\u2019 Spinoffs Are Still in the Works \u2013 And Which Shows Are Currently Delayed?<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The original conversation was that it has to be something [that happens to Kayce in the series premiere]. There was the thought of, &#8216;Maybe we find him and he\u2019s just bored because he was protecting his family and was a Navy SEAL, so then actually a calm life is not for him, which is a path,\u2019&#8221; Hudnut told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month about the motivation behind the new spinoff. &#8220;But probably not a satisfying enough path for Kayce. Then, truthfully, as we were trying to figure it out, Monica was not one of the ingredients that was available to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Hudnut <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/yellowstone-marshals-spinoff-shaped-grief-124648444.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:clarified that he didn't speak;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;clarified that he didn't speak&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">clarified that he didn&#8217;t speak<\/a> with Asbille before it was decided that Monica would be written off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;No, I wasn\u2019t part of any of that, so I can\u2019t really speak to how or why that played out the way it did. But when that happened, it cleared up what that thing was for Kayce,&#8221; he noted. &#8220;And I think the way we\u2019ve done it, my goal was to not undermine that journey in Yellowstone because they do have [the dream] \u2014 she says, \u2018This is a dream come true\u2019 at the end of it. They did achieve that. They did get what they finally wanted, and, unfortunately, life just intervened and disrupted everything that Kayce wanted.
