With 9.52 million viewership for the Yellowstone spinoff Marshals premiere airing on CBS March 1st that grew to 20.6 million viewers after a week of streaming and other delayed viewing, it would be no surprise the series is renewed for a second season.
CBS announced a quick renewal for Marshals on Thursday, 12 days after its series debut, joining other CBS series, like Sheriff Country and Boston Blue, in the network’s lineup for 2026-27. Its episode 2 on-air audience of 8.4 million held up very nicely from the premiere.

“Marshals delivered a breakout performance, capturing a massive audience across platforms and quickly establishing itself as one of TV’s most powerful new series,” CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said in a statement. “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.”
In Marshals, Grimes reprises his Yellowstone role as Kayce Dutton in Marshals, with the character joining a team of federal marshals working in Montana. Logan Marshall-Green, Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos and Tatanka Means also star, along with returning Yellowstone actors Mo Brings Plenty, Brecken Merrill and Gil Birmingham.
Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios produce the series. Showrunner Spencer Hudnut executive produces with Yellowstone creators Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, David Glasser, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Freidman, Grimes and Greg Yaitanes.
