on Jul 15, 2026
Marshals has become one of Taylor Sheridan’s most successful series launches, and its impressive cast is a big reason why.
The Yellowstone spinoff series premiered on CBS on March 1, and it didn’t take long for it to break records. Its first episode drew 9.52 million viewers, becoming the network’s biggest new series premiere in more than a year.
Because of this, the show has officially been renewed for a second season, with filming already underway.

One reason fans were so eager to tune in to Marshals was because it brought back several beloved characters from the original Yellowstone series. Naturally, viewers wanted to see where their favorite characters’ stories would go next.
For example, the show follows returning character Kayce Dutton (played by Luke Grimes) as he joins an elite team of U.S. Marshals after the tragic death of his wife, Monica. Other returning faces are Tate Dutton, Thomas Rainwater, and Mo.
Along with bringing back characters, Marshals also added some new faces into the mix. This includes Kayce’s entire task force, made up of members: Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos), Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means).
But even though some of these characters are new to the Yellowstone universe, the actors playing them may look familiar.
