Marshals Season 2 Returns: Release Date, Time, and What Fans Can Expect

Okay, fellow Yellowstone fans, take a breath. The wait is finally over: Marshals is slated to roll back onto CBS on Sunday, October 4, 2026. Yep, you read that right—new episodes are coming after a season‑long hiatus.

First things first, if you tried to tune in tonight (August 2) expecting fresh drama, you’ll just get a rerun of the Season 1 finale, “Playing With Fire.” It’s a nice reminder of where we left Kayce (Luke Grimes), Cal, Belle, and the rest of the crew, but the real action won’t start until October.

Let’s rewind a second. Marshals Season 1 wrapped up with 13 episodes, the final one titled “Wolves at the Door” airing on May 24. The series managed a record‑setting launch for CBS, becoming the network’s most‑streamed episode ever and earning a quick renewal in March 2026. CBS didn’t just say “maybe”; they said “yes, definitely” to a second season.

So, when exactly will the new season drop? CBS announced its fall‑2026 primetime slate on April 15 and placed Marshals squarely in the lineup for the first Sunday of October. The premiere is scheduled for roughly 8:30 p.m. ET, right after an NFL double‑header and a week’s worth of 60 Minutes. (Timing can shift a bit depending on the game’s length, but plan on the 8:30 slot.)

What about catching up or watching on the go? All of Marshals’ past episodes, as well as the fresh Season 2 installments, will be available on Paramount+. The service offers an ad‑supported Essential plan at $8.99/month and a Premium tier with a seven‑day free trial if you want to binge without commercials.

Now, for the juicy part that everyone’s been whispering about: a possible crossover with Dutton Ranch. Both spin‑offs ended their first seasons on cliffhangers—Marshals with Kayce’s son Tate in a precarious situation, and Dutton Ranch with a kidnapping drama involving Beth and Rip’s son. While the studios haven’t confirmed an official crossover date, the storylines line up nicely, so keep an eye on future announcements.

In short, mark your calendars, set a reminder, and maybe clear your evening schedule. October 4 is the night Marshals storms back onto the screen, delivering the rugged drama we’ve come to love, and possibly tying the loose ends together with its Yellowstone siblings.
