Spencer Hudnut, the creator of CBS‘s Yellowstone spinoff, said that Monica Dutton (Kelsey Asbille) was killed off before the events of the Marshals series premiere to give Kayce Dutton’s (Luke Grimes) next chapter a dramatic start. But a new report claims that legal issues regarding Yellowstone and Marshals streaming rights might have been the real reason propelling the decision to write off the character.
Asbille played Monica, Kayce’s wife and Tate’s (Brecken Merrill) mother, in every season of Yellowstone. She was alive and well and had found a happy ending with her family in the Yellowstone series finale, which came out in December 2024. Asbille was absent from Marshals casting announcements and trailers, leading to speculation that she was being killed off, that ended up being correct. Episode 1 revealed that Monica died of cancer between the events of the Yellowstone series finale and Marshals series premiere.
