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.

With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Kayce Dutton is stepping into a new badge and a new kind of battlefield. Y: Marshals follows the former Livestock Agent and Navy SEAL as he joins an elite U.S. Marshals task force in Montana, blending the cowboy grit we know with federal-level stakes in the next chapter in the Dutton saga starring Luke Grimes. CBS has just released an extended look at the series and, based on everything CBS and Paramount have shared, this spin-off is poised to take Kayce somewhere he’s never been — even by Yellowstone standards.
The team includes Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green), Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos), and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means). Together, they serve as the last line of defense in a region defined by sprawling terrain and rising violence — a job that takes a heavy emotional toll. For Kayce, that means trying to balance duty with the fractured but vital relationships in his personal life.
Brecken Merrill returns as Tate Dutton, while Gil Birmingham and Mo Brings Plenty step back into their roles as Thomas Rainwater and Mo from the Broken Rock Reservation.
Y: Marshals arrives on the heels of Yellowstone’s divisive Season 5 finale, which aired late last year and closed out the original series with plenty of strong feelings from fans. Unlike previous spin-offs — 1883 and 1923 — which traveled backward in time and expanded the Dutton mythology through their ancestors, this one pushes the story forward. It also marks the first major spin-off centered on a modern-day Dutton after Kevin Costner’s exit and the franchise’s shift toward multiple new series. Projects like 1944 and The Madison remain in development, but Y: Marshals will be the first to test how far the contemporary Dutton storyline can stretch.
Taylor Sheridan Isn’t Writing This One — And That’s a Big Deal
Fans who follow the franchise closely already know this part, but it’s worth repeating: Taylor Sheridan did not write Y: Marshals. He’s still an executive producer, and his fingerprints are on the world itself, but the show is led creatively by someone new — Spencer Hudnut. Hudnut, previously known for his writing on SEAL Team, The Blacklist: Redemption, and Unforgettable, is both the showrunner and head writer for the series. Viewers are naturally slightly concerned because Sheridan’s distinctive voice has shaped every Dutton chapter so far, and Y: Marshals will be the first to explore what that world looks like under a different pen. Whether fans buy into it is another question.
Y: Marshalspremieres Sunday, March 1 on CBS, with episodes streaming on Paramount+ after they air.
