'Marshals' Scores Season 2 Renewal After Massive Yellowstone Premiere

According to CBS, as per the outlet, the show's March 1 premiere posted 20.6 million multiplatform viewers within seven days.

"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 CBS Entertainment prexy Amy Reisenbach in a statement, according to Variety.

"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," added Reisenbach.

'Marshals' stars Luke Grimes in his 'Yellowstone' 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."

Logan Marshall-Green, Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, Brecken Merrill, Mo Brings Plenty, and Gil Birmingham also star in this neo-western television series.

Sheridan, David Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Spencer Hudnut, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Freidman, Grimes and Greg Yaitanes are executive producers.

Grimes originated the role of Kayce Dutton in the first season of 'Yellowstone,' starring in the hit neo-Western throughout its run at Paramount Network.

The 'Marshals' followed the story of Grimes after he successfully sold the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch to Thomas Rainwater and the Broken Rock Indian Reservation for the same price his ancestors purchased it for--1.25 USD per acre.

Kayce retained a small part of the ranch, however, on which to live with his family. Kayce also worked as a livestock commissioner during the course of the original series, which could serve as the basis for the procedural aspect.
