It's an early pickup for the 'Yellowstone' spinoff.
March 12, 2026
CBS announced today that Marshals has been renewed for a second season. It's an early pickup for the new drama, coming just two episodes into its freshman run.
It is understandable though, after its series premiere was watched by 20.6 million multiplatform viewers with seven days, making it the network's most-watched original series premiere without a football lead-in since 2017.
"Marshals delivered a breakout performance, capturing a massive audience across platforms and quickly establishing itself as one of TV's most powerful new series," said Amy Reisenbach, president, CBS Entertainment. "The overwhelming viewer response speaks to the strength of the Yellowstone world, the bold character driven storytelling from the creative team and the dynamic cast performances led by Luke Grimes."
The show follows Kayce Dutton, who puts the Yellowstone Ranch behind him and moves on to join an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana. Together, he and his teammates must balance family, duty, and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region's war on violence.

Roast Beef, spot on. I thought this would be a sequel series to Yellowstone and it’s more like a police procedural. Losing interest real quick.

@Jimmy, thanks I will pass since it is not a stand alone series. I did not watch BBT but was able to enjoy Young Sheldon so thought this might be the case.

I do not get how it gets another season after 2 episodes. You would be lost if you did not watch Yellowstone because you would not know all the people they talk about, or all they reference. It will not be close to the original. I think it will move to paramount+ for next season. It will be better then the Boston Blue a complete joke when compared to Blur Bloods.

Explain to me how this show makes any sense: Casey spends the entirety of Yellowstone being a whiny baby who only wants to live off the land with his wife & kid. Then at the end of Yellowstone he gets just that very thing. But now he's a US Marshall?
I knew just from the premise that this was going to be a stupid show.

Question for anyone: Do you have to have watched Yellowstone to follow the story? I have not started yet. Thanks

This is not even CLOSE to Yellowstone. What a joke. Too bad, hopefully the next spinoff will be worth watching…

Not a bad show, but not Yellowstone! Rainwater and Mo were not even in episode 2. NCIS scripts with Yellowstone actors. The big plus is Logan Marshall Green. Tate seems unnecessary. Cruz is cartoonish. Probably stop watching after 5 or 6 episodes, like what I did with Boston Blue.
