Kelsey Asbille is officially moving on from the Yellowstone universe.
Asbille played Kayce Dutton’s wife, Monica, across all five seasons of Yellowstone. The show ended in 2024, and it didn’t take long for spin-off rumors to start swirling.
Those rumors soon became reality, with Kayce (Luke Grimes) getting his own spin-off on CBS, titled Marshals. Kayce’s sister, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly), and her husband, Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), ended up leading another spin-off, the Paramount+ series Dutton Ranch.
While Marshals was being promoted, fans noted that Asbille (and therefore, Monica) didn’t appear in any of the trailers or casting announcements. Then, during the premiere on March 1st, we learned that Monica died after battling cancer. Her death occurred off-screen, and Asbille did not appear in the show.
Monica’s shocking death served as the push behind Kayce’s desire to pursue a new life for himself and their son, Tate, by joining the Marshals.

Now, Asbille has landed a new role following the end of Yellowstone and Monica’s death in Marshals.
Deadline reports that Asbille has joined the cast of the upcoming action flick The Kellys. She’s set to star alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Liam Hemsworth in the film, which will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
