The Yellowstone universe expanded from Paramount and Paramount+ to CBS with Marshals, and the show is already a huge hit after just two episodes. Therefore, it makes sense that CBS picked it up for a second season after just two airings.
The first episode was watched by 20.6 million viewers across TV and streaming after seven days, making it the most-watched series premiere without a football lead-in since Young Sheldon in 2017. Not only that, it is the streamer’s most-streamed episode to date.
“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.”
Marshals stars Luke Grimes reprising his role as Kayce Dutton as he joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana.
Marshals airs Sundays at 8p, and streams on Paramount+ the next day.
