AceShowbiz - Marshals, the Yellowstone spinoff on CBS, has been renewed for a second season just 12 days after its premiere. This fast renewal follows the series’ impressive debut, marking it as one of the network's strongest scripted launches in recent years.
The show premiered on March 1 to an audience of 9.52 million viewers on CBS. After a week of streaming and delayed viewing, the total audience swelled to an outstanding 20.6 million viewers. To put this in perspective, this figure surpasses the top non-sports series this season, Tracker, by about 6.5 million viewers across platforms.
Although delayed viewing numbers for the second episode are still forthcoming, its live broadcast attracted 8.4 million viewers, maintaining much of the premiere’s audience. This strong hold indicates sustained interest in the series.
CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach praised the series, highlighting its breakout performance and significant cross-platform audience. She credited the show’s success to the robust Yellowstone universe, compelling character-driven storytelling, and the dynamic performances, especially by Luke Grimes.
In Marshals, Luke Grimes reprises his Yellowstone role as Kayce Dutton, who joins a federal marshals team operating in Montana. The cast also includes Logan Marshall-Green, Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, and Tatanka Means. Returning Yellowstone actors such as Mo Brings Plenty, Brecken Merrill, and Gil Birmingham also appear.
The series is produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios. Executive producers include creator and showrunner Spencer Hudnut, along with Yellowstone creators Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, and others such as David Glasser, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Freidman, Luke Grimes, and Greg Yaitanes.
Marshals will join CBS’s 2026-27 lineup alongside other first-year dramas like Sheriff Country and Boston Blue. Fans and industry watchers can follow all upcoming network renewals, cancellations, and new series announcements through THR’s broadcast scorecard for 2026.
