Kevin Costner’s “Yellowstone” Character John Dutton Comes Up Several Times in “Marshals ”Premiere
In the March 1 premiere of Marshals, a Yellowstone spinoff series, John Dutton (played by Kevin Costner in the original series), has quite a few mentions in the new CBS spinoff, which centers around John’s youngest son, Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes).Costner’s character died in the second half of Yellowstone season 5, its final installment, after Costner, 71, announced his exit from the series. John’s death initially appeared to be self-inflicted, but it was later revealed that Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri) had arranged a murder-for-hire scheme amid her relationship with Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley), John’s son and Kayce’s older brother. In the series finale, Beth (Kelly Reilly), John’s daughter, killed Jamie over his involvement in their dad’s death.
In Marshals, the Dutton family’s Montana legacy was brought up in one of the first scenes involving Kayce’s longtime friend and former Navy SEAL teammate, Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green). “All those years of door-kicking, you never once mentioned that you’re some Montana Rockefeller,” Pete said to Kayce, ribbing him.”That was the best part about being a SEAL. Being a Dutton didn’t matter,” Kayce replied.After Kayce met the rest of Pete’s team — Belle (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea (Ash Santos) and Miles (Tatanka Means) — his family’s notoriety came up once more.
