"Killing off Monica had nothing to do with the story. CBS needed to significantly alter Marshals from its predecessor due to potential legal complications over streaming rights."
"Grimes was heartbroken when he first heard the news. His first thought was that he wouldn't 'even know what that would look like... doing [the show] without her.'"
The new series Marshals, featuring Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, faced significant changes due to legal issues surrounding streaming rights. CBS had to alter the show from its predecessor, Yellowstone, resulting in the decision to write off Kayce's wife, Monica Long Dutton. This move was met with criticism from fans who anticipated a continuation of their story. Despite the backlash, Marshals has become the most-watched scripted series on TV, indicating that the changes may have been necessary for the show's success.
