Marshals season 2 is confirmed and premieres Sunday, October 4, 2026, on CBS, with Luke Grimes back as U.S. Marshal Kayce Dutton. The Yellowstone-universe spinoff — now known simply as Marshals, after being announced as “Y: Marshals” — turned into one of CBS’s biggest hits of the year with season 1, which is why the network fast-tracked a second season. Here’s everything confirmed so far, as of Sunday morning, September 27, 2026, about the premiere date, time slot, cast and where the story picks up.
When does Marshals season 2 premiere?
Marshals season 2 premieres Sunday, October 4, 2026, at 8:30 PM ET/PT on CBS, before shifting into the show’s regular Sunday time slot the following week. New episodes also stream on Paramount+ the same night they air on CBS.

|---|---|---|
| Sun, Oct 4, 2026 | 8:30 PM ET/PT | CBS |
| Sun, Oct 11, 2026 on | 8 PM ET/PT | CBS |
As of this writing, the premiere is still about a week away — no season 2 footage beyond promotional first looks has aired.
Is Marshals season 2 officially confirmed and renewed?
Yes — CBS renewed Marshals for a second season within about two weeks of its season 1 debut, an unusually fast turnaround driven by the show’s opening numbers. Marshals launched March 1, 2026, drawing roughly 9.5 million same-night viewers on CBS that grew to more than 20 million multiplatform viewers across a week of delayed and streaming viewing — network reporting at the time called it the most-watched series premiere since Young Sheldon in 2017, and the season 1 premiere went on to become CBS’s most-streamed episode ever on Paramount+. Season 2 has been in production since June 2026, filming in and around Park City, Utah.
Who’s in the Marshals season 2 cast?
The core season 1 cast is returning, joined by two notable additions. Luke Grimes is back as Kayce Dutton, with Tatanka Means returning as Miles and Ash Santos as Andrea. Morgan Lindholm’s Maddie — the bartender at the Bullet ‘N Barrel — gets an expanded role this season centered on her strained relationship with Cal, after being revealed as his estranged daughter.
| Actor | Role |
|---|---|
| Luke Grimes | Kayce Dutton |
| Tatanka Means | Miles |
| Ash Santos | Andrea |
| Morgan Lindholm | Maddie |
| Marque Richardson | Patrick Burns (new) |
| Jefferson White | Jimmy Hurdstrom (recurring) |
Newcomer Marque Richardson joins as Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Burns, and Yellowstone alum Jefferson White is set to appear in a recurring role reprising his original-series character, ranch hand Jimmy Hurdstrom.
What happened in the season 1 finale, and where does season 2 pick up?
Season 2 picks up directly from the season 1 finale’s land-dispute cliffhanger. The finale revealed rancher Tom Weaver as the mastermind behind a string of attacks tied to his attempts to buy Kayce’s East Camp property; Kayce had just turned down Weaver’s offer to sell. As the finale closed, Weaver took Kayce’s son Tate on what he described as a fishing trip to Texas, while Kayce rode off with a new love interest — Weaver’s daughter, Dolly — unaware of the danger his son was riding into. Whether Dolly knew about her father’s plan is left unresolved, and reporting has not confirmed how the storyline plays out; season 2 is expected to address the fallout early on.
Where can I watch Marshals?
Marshals airs on CBS and streams on Paramount+, with new season 2 episodes available on the streamer the same night they broadcast. Season 1 is also available in full on Paramount+ for anyone catching up before the October 4 premiere.
Is Marshals connected to Yellowstone and Dutton Ranch?
Yes — Marshals is a present-day continuation of the Yellowstone universe, following Kayce Dutton’s move from the family ranch to a career as a U.S. Marshal in Montana. Jefferson White’s casting as Jimmy Hurdstrom, a fan-favorite hand from the original Yellowstone, deepens that connection for season 2, even though it isn’t a full crossover episode with the Beth-and-Rip spinoff Dutton Ranch. We’ve separately broken down what’s actually been said about a full Dutton Ranch and Marshals crossover , including why the two shows’ different platforms make it tricky.
Bottom line
With a confirmed October 4, 2026 premiere date, a returning cast, two high-profile additions and a cliffhanger waiting to be resolved, Marshals season 2 has a clear runway heading into the fall. We’ll keep this page updated as CBS and Paramount+ release more details ahead of the premiere.
