Warning: Spoilers ahead for Marshals season 1.Taylor Sheridan's divisive series Marshals is making a comeback.
Sheridan's Yellowstone universe is constantly evolving as well as constantly dominating Paramount+ and CBS. The flagship series led to multiple spinoffs, including 1923. 1883, Marshals, and Dutton Ranch, with even more planned. The television saga focuses on the legacy of the Dutton family and spinoffs, Marshals and Dutton Ranch, showing life after Montana and the ending of Yellowstone.
Paramount has revealed some first-look images as production begins in Park City, Utah, on season 2 of Marshals with Luke Grimes returning as Kayce Dutton. The series is set to return in the fall with characters like Tatanka Means as Miles and Ash Santos returning for season 2, as confirmed by the first images taken from set.
Season 1 ended on a major cliffhanger for Kayce Dutton as two Marshals, including Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Pete “Cal” Calvin and Deputy U.S. Marshal Isabel “Belle” Skinner-Turek face a big threat to their lives when shooters open fire on them. There is no confirmation at the time of writing if these two characters will be returning, leaving their fates uncertain.
Season 1 averaged 20.4 million viewers for the first eight episodes on different platforms, as reported by Nielsen. However, despite being successful on streaming platforms, the series has been a huge disappointment for both critics and fans, with a shocking 45% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and an even worse rating of 27% from audiences.
Another Yellowstone spinoff was released titled Dutton Ranch, which follows Kayce's sister Beth and her husband Rip as they attempt to revive the ranching legacy in Texas but are met with dangerous repercussions. Dutton Ranch is performing significantly better on Rotten Tomatoes with an impressive 89% rating from critics and an 84% from audiences.
Despite drawing in 26.5 million viewers and becoming the most-watched new scripted series of the broadcast season, Marshals still has to prove itself worthy amongst the other highly-acclaimed Yellowstone series as well as a Sheridan series. Kayce's transition from the ranch to protecting people was not a big leap, but fans have yet to see if Grimes' character can stand on his own two feet.
Marshals is available to watch on Paramount+.
CBS Sets Fall Dates for ‘Marshals,’ ‘Survivor’ and More
CBS has set its fall premiere dates, and as has been the case for the past few seasons, most of the network’s lineup will launch in early October.
Reality staples Survivor and The Amazing Race will debut a bit earlier, as will 60 Minutes. But all of CBS’ scripted series are set to premiere over six days starting Oct. 4. Marshals and Tracker — the two most watched shows on network TV last season, excluding live sports — are up first that night, remaining in the Sunday night spots they occupied last season.
FBI and CIA follow on Oct. 5, with each show moving up an hour (to 8 and 9 p.m. ET/PT) from their spots last season as CBS eliminated its Monday comedy block for 2026-27. True crime show Harlan Coben’s Final Twist follows at 10 p.m.
An all-NCIS lineup remains on Tuesday nights starting Oct. 6, with newcomer NCIS: New York sandwiched between the flagship series and prequel NCIS: Origins. CBS’ two other new fall series, comedy Eternally Yours and drama Cupertino, premiere Oct. 8 along with Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage and Elsbeth. Ghosts and Matlock are set for midseason premieres, but a pair of Ghosts specials will air on Oct. 29 and Dec. 10 tied to Halloween and Christmas. The Friday lineup of Sheriff Country, Fire Country and Boston Blue debuts Oct. 9.
