Warning: SPOILERS for Marshals Season 1, Episode 12 - "The Devil at Home"Marshals season 2 won't miss a beat after season 1's finale, says star Logan Marshall-Green. The first sequel/spinoff of Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone franchise, Marshals is the most-watched broadcast series and the most-watched series across broadcast and streaming. Marshals averages 26.5 million viewers each week on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
Marshals season 1's penultimate episode set up huge potential changes for Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) and his team of U.S. Marshals based in Montana. Kayce considers selling his home, East Camp, which is his last link to the Dutton family's Yellowstone legacy. Meanwhile, Marshall-Green's Deputy Marshal Pete "Cal" Calvin finally reveals his grim medical diagnosis.
Speaking to TV Insider, Logan Marshall-Green offered an encouraging update about Marshals season 2, which begins production this week. Marshall-Green reveals that Marshals season 2 "picks up right where we left off," hinting that season 1's finale ends on a cliffhanger with a twist he never saw coming. Read Logan's quote below:
He says that Marshals Season 2 goes into production this week, and “we’re dogging, right out of the gate, about seven, eight pages a day.” The Marshals cast previously teased a big cliffhanger ending, but he says that Season 2 will “pick up right where we left off, literally and figuratively. No rest for the wicked.” As for the finale’s ending, Marshall-Green says he never saw the twist coming.
It's great news that Marshals season 2 is wasting no time mounting production. CBS's fall 2026 schedule, announced during the network's upfronts presentation, placed Marshals back at its Sunday, 8 pm, timeslot, pairing it with another hit, Tracker.
As a network procedural, Marshals films faster than a streaming series like Dutton Ranch, Paramount+'s newest Yellowstone spinoff. "Seven, eight pages a day" is an aggressive production schedule, and Marshall-Green isn't kidding when he quips that's "no rest for the wicked."
As Logan Marshall-Green teased, Cal's future is up in the air. Cal revealed to his teammate, Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), that he had been diagnosed with a pancoast tumor in his lung. Cal, coping with a potentially fatal illness that often afflicts soldiers, is a story that Marshals showrunner Spencer Hudnut "wanted to tell," says Marshall-Green.
Marshals season 2 could potentially include a crossover with Dutton Ranch. A reunion between Kayce Dutton, his sister Beth (Kelly Reilly), and her husband Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), has already been teased by Hudnut and Reilly. Hauser has already said he'd prefer to return to Montana, where Marshals is set, rather than Kayce coming to Dutton Ranch's Texas locale.
As for if and how Pete Calvin will survive his tumor, viewers will have to tune into Marshals season 2 to find out, but it's hard to imagine that Cal won't be leading Kayce and their U.S. Marshals team for season 2 and more seasons to come.
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.
