The Yellowstone series was a big hit for Paramount Network but, due to behind-the-scenes issues, it came to an untimely end. Now, the long-awaited spin-off, Marshals, has finally launched and CBS is hoping it will be a ratings blockbuster. Is it a good fit for the broadcast network? Will Marshals be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
An American neo-Western television series, the Marshals TV show was created by Spencer Hudnut, based on characters created by Taylor Sheridan & John Linson. This Yellowstone spin-off stars Luke Grimes, Gil Birmingham, Mo Brings Plenty, Brecken Merrill, Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, and Logan Marshall-Green. In the story, with the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Kayce Dutton (Grimes) joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana. Kayce’s teammates include Pete Calvin (Marshall-Green), Belle Skinner (Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Santos) and Miles Kittle (Means). Together, they must balance the high psychological cost of serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence with their duty to their families. For Kayce, this includes his son Tate (Merrill) and confidants Thomas Rainwater (Birmingham) and Mo (Brings Plenty) from the Broken Rock reservation.
