‘Yellowstone’ Fan Favorite Is the Latest in the TV Franchise to Join CBS’ Spin-off ‘Marshals’
When Marshals returns for a second season next month, fans will see another familiar face.
Yellowstone alum Jefferson White will reprise his role as Jimmy Hurdstrom for season 2 of the CBS drama, Variety reported on Wednesday, September 16.
“I’m thrilled to dive into the world of Marshals and continue exploring the American West,” the actor, 36, said in a statement. “The cast and crew are stacked full of my favorite actors and filmmakers, and I’m honored to join them.”
“Jimmy and I have been through a lot together,” he added, “and I can’t wait to see what’s next for us.”
According to Variety, White’s character will recur in the second season of Marshals, which serves as both a spinoff and sequel in the popular Yellowstone universe.
The fourth TV series in the Yellowstone franchise — which includes 1883, 1932 and Dutton Ranch starring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser — stars Luke Grimes returning to the role of Kayce Dutton; his character’s wife, Monica Long Dutton (played by Kelsey Asbille) died off-screen between Yellowstone and Marshals.
Other Yellowstone alums in the series include Brecken Merrill, Mo Brings Plenty and Gil Birmingham.
It is unclear how Jimmy will be worked into the second season of Marshals, but his storyline concluded in Yellowstone with him returning to 6666 Ranch.
Though reports circulated that Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan planned to do a 6666 spinoff, he recently shot down those rumors on the Rodeo Time podcast, per Deadline. “I would never fictionalize that ranch,” Sheridan — who owns the legendary Texas property — explained.
Marshals celebrated White’s return to the franchise with a post shared Wednesday on Instagram. “Guess who’s back,” words read over a video of the actor turning around to face the camera.
“Jimmy’s back on the ranch — welcome to #MarshalsCBS, @_jeffersonwhite!” the caption read.
The series was renewed for a second season less than two weeks after it premiered earlier this year. It is set to begin October 4 on CBS.
