When does Marshals season 2 premiere?
CBS has locked in the fall return for Marshals. According to Town & Country, Paramount revealed that season 2 opens Sunday, October 4, at 8:30 p.m. eastern—a one-week temporary departure from the usual hour.
Radio Times reports the second episode arrives a week later at 8 p.m. on October 11, after which the drama sticks to that weekly 8 p.m. schedule. For more premiere alerts, see our Streaming & TV Alerts hub.
What is Marshals and why does the date matter?
Marshals is a Yellowstone spin-off—and the fourth series in the franchise—following Kayce Dutton after the original show. Grimes’s Kayce joins an elite U.S. Marshals unit in Montana while raising his son, Tate, after Monica’s death.
The quick turnaround matters because season 1 only began airing in March 2026. CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach called it a breakout that captured a massive audience across platforms. Nielsen figures cited by MovieWeb put Marshals second with 25.24 million views over its broadcast span.
Where does season 1 leave the story?
Beyond the premiere date, little else has been detailed. Town & Country notes the season one finale left several characters in peril: Tate was with rival rancher Tom Weaver, while Cal and Belle were held at gunpoint.
MovieWeb says behind-the-scenes photos suggest the premiere picks up almost immediately after that cliffhanger. A first-look teaser showed Kayce held at gunpoint before fighting back. Returning cast includes Logan Marshall-Green, Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, and Tatanka Means.
How can you watch Marshals season 2?
U.S. viewers can catch new episodes on CBS; season 1 is available in full on Paramount+. Radio Times says a UK Paramount+ date is not yet confirmed, but if the season 1 pattern holds—same-day windows allowing for the time difference—episode 1 could land there on October 5.
