Arielle Kebbel, known for her roles in shows like "The Vampire Diaries" and films like "I Can Only Imagine 2", is set to star in the "Yellowstone" spin-off series "Marshals". Kebbel says she's a huge fan of the original show and is excited by the responsibility of helping to expand the Dutton family story. The new series follows Kayce Dutton as he begins his career as a U.S. Marshal after the death of his father John and the sale of most of the Dutton family's ranch.

Why it matters

"Yellowstone" has become a hugely popular and acclaimed drama, so the spin-off "Marshals" is highly anticipated by fans eager to see more of the Dutton family saga. Kebbel's involvement as a lead character brings additional star power and creative vision to the new series.

The details

In "Marshals", Kebbel plays the role of Belle, an elite U.S. Marshal who previously worked undercover for the ATF. Belle now finds herself policing her own hometown and struggling to balance her dangerous job with her family life. Kebbel says Belle was initially described to her as "Martha Stewart in cowboy boots", which resonated with the actress. The new series will explore how Belle and fellow Marshal Kayce Dutton navigate the challenges of their high-stakes work while also protecting their personal lives.

  • "Marshals" is set to premiere on CBS on Sunday, March 3, 2026 and will also be available on Paramount+ the following day.
