EXCLUSIVE: Luke Grimes isn’t horsing around. He’s shooting scenes as Kayce Dutton for the CBS series Marshals, which has begun production on Season 2 in Park City, Utah. The show will return with new episodes this fall.
Produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios, Marshals is centered on Kayce Dutton. With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Dutton joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana. Kayce and his teammates – Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green), Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos) and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means) – must balance the high psychological cost of serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence with their duty to their families, which for Kayce includes his son Tate (Brecken Merrill) and his confidantes Mo (Mo Brings Plenty) and Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) from the Broken Rock reservation.
As Deadline previously reported, the Season 1 finale ended on a pretty major cliffhanger with two of Kayce Dutton’s fellow Marshals – Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Pete “Cal” Calvin and Deputy U.S. Marshal Isabel “Belle” Skinner-Turek– in imminent danger after being led to a house where they encounter two men with big guns shooting at them.
It was also teased that Deputy U.S. Marshal Andrea Cruz could leave Montana. However, a second photo from production below reveals Santos, who plays Andrea, will be back, at least for the premiere episode “All Hat No Cattle.” She is posing alongside Means, a third confirmed cast member returning for Season 2. Outside of Grimes, Santos, and Means, due to the cliffhanger ending, there is no confirmation regarding which other members of the main cast will also be back.
Season 2 could also potentially explore Dutton’s love life further, following the loss of his wife somewhere between the end of Yellowstone and the start of Marshals. There was a moment in Episode 9 where he and Andrea seemed to be getting close. There was also a time he held hands with Dolly Weaver (Ellyn Jameson) after the accident involving Garrett, played by country star Riley Green. The end of the Season 1 finale also sets up a potential love interest between Dutton and blonde transplant Dolly Weaver (Ellyn Jameson).
Season 1 averaged 20.4 million multiplatform viewers for the first eight episodes, according to Nielsen.
Marshals is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, David Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Spencer Hudnut, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Freidman, Luke Grimes, and Keith Cox. Hudnut also serves as showrunner for the series.
The photo of Means and Santos can be found below.

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.
