Marshals returns to CBS for a second season on October 4, with new episodes streaming on Paramount+ starting October 5. Luke Grimes’ Kayce Dutton, now the only Dutton family lead anchoring a returning first-run series this fall, heads into an already stacked October alongside Carrie on the 7th, VisionQuest on the 14th and Crystal Lake on the 15th.

Mark Sunday, October 4 on the calendar: that’s when Kayce Dutton picks up his badge again. CBS brings back Marshals for a second season, with Luke Grimes still hunting for his abducted son Tate, and this time it’s the only Dutton-driven show returning with fresh episodes this fall, since Beth and Rip already had their run on Dutton Ranch back in May. The premiere airs at 8:30/7:30c before settling into its regular slot the following week, with episodes hitting Paramount+ the next day. Locking down that advance piece before the end of September makes sense, especially since October is shaping up to be packed with three more premieres close behind it.

The Yellowstone universe rides on with Marshals

Yellowstone ended, but the Duttons keep working. Marshals, the CBS spin-off built around Kayce Dutton, returns for its second season on Sunday, October 4, 2026, kicking off in a special 8:30/7:30c timeslot before episode 2 settles into the regular 8/7c slot. With Beth and Rip’s series Dutton Ranch already launched back on May 15, Marshals stands as the only Dutton-centric show delivering fresh episodes this fall.

Kayce Dutton is back on the case

Season 2 picks up straight from the season 1 cliffhanger. Luke Grimes returns as Kayce, now a Special Deputy U.S. Marshal leading the search for his kidnapped teenage son Tate, played by Brecken Merrill. The absence of Kelsey Asbille’s Monica, revealed in season 1 to have died of cancer, deepens the show’s somber register. “Yellowstone is gone, same for most of my family,” Kayce says in the trailer.

Filming began June 8, 2026 in Park City, Utah, only weeks after the season 1 finale aired in May. The new cast additions include Morgan Lindholm in an expanded role as Maddie, a bartender at Bullet ‘N Barrel, and Marque Richardson recurring as Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Burns. Taylor Sheridan and Grimes himself sit among the executive producers, alongside showrunner Spencer Hudnut.

Stream it next-day on Paramount+

Prefer on-demand viewing? Episodes hit Paramount+ starting October 5, 2026, the day after each CBS broadcast. That dual model paid off handsomely for season 1, which premiered March 1, 2026, became the most-streamed CBS series premiere ever with 9.52 million same-day viewers, and averaged 20.4 million multiplatform viewers across its first 8 episodes. CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said the show “delivered a breakout performance, capturing a massive audience across platforms.” The network has yet to confirm the full episode order for season 2.

A packed October for TV lovers

Kayce’s return lands in a crowded stretch of premieres:

Carrie, the Prime Video miniseries adapting Carrie White’s telekinetic awakening, drops all 8 episodes on October 7
Marvel’s VisionQuest, starring Paul Bettany as Vision and James Spader as Ultron, debuts on Disney+ on October 14 as the final chapter of a Disney+ trilogy
Crystal Lake, the A24-produced Friday the 13th prequel with Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees, releases all 8 episodes on Peacock on October 15

That gives viewers 4 major premieres in 12 days, starting with Marshals on October 4.
