Marshalls Season 2 Taps Marque Richardson & Morgan Lindholm for Recurring Roles
CBS’s "Marshals" Season 2 Adds New Faces and Returns to Montana This Fall
Hey there! If you love modern Westerns with high stakes, family drama, and elite lawmen, you’re in the right place. Let’s break down everything we know about the upcoming second season of CBS’s hit show Marshals—the Yellowstone spinoff starring Luke Grimes.
What Is "Marshals" Anyway?
Think of Marshals as a cowboy-meets-Navy SEAL adventure. The show follows Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes), who leaves the famous Yellowstone Ranch behind to join an elite unit of U.S. Marshals in Montana. He uses his unique blend of ranching skills and special-ops training to bring "range justice" to the wild frontier.
The core team includes:
- Pete "Cal" Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green) – Kayce’s partner and friend
- Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel) – Sharp, tough deputy marshal
- Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos) – Dedicated deputy with a complicated future
- Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means) – Steady presence on the team
IMPORTANT POINT: Marshals is produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios, with Taylor Sheridan (creator of Yellowstone) as an executive producer. That means you get the same gritty, cinematic quality.
Big Casting News for Season 2
Marque Richardson Joins as a Prosecutor
Marque Richardson (known for Unprisoned and Dear White People) will recur as Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Burns.
- What does "recur" mean? He’ll appear in multiple episodes but isn’t a full-time series regular.
- His role: As a federal prosecutor, Burns will likely clash or collaborate with the Marshals on big cases.
Morgan Lindholm Returns as Maddie
Morgan Lindholm (Truth or Dare, Leverage: Redemption) is back as Maddie—the bartender at Bullet ’N Barrel, the local watering hole.
- Twist: Maddie is also Cal’s estranged daughter. Expect family drama!
- Expanded role: She’ll have more screen time and deeper storylines this season.
Where Are We in Production?
| Status | Details |
|---|---|
| Filming Started | June 2026 in Park City, Utah (standing in for Montana) |
| Confirmed Returning Stars | Luke Grimes, Tatanka Means, Ash Santos |
| Premiere | New episodes arriving Fall 2026 |
NOTE: Because Season 1 ended on a massive cliffhanger, we don’t yet know if Logan Marshall-Green (Cal) or Arielle Kebbel (Belle) will return. They were last seen trapped in a house under heavy gunfire!
Remember That Cliffhanger?
The Season 1 finale left us hanging:
- Cal and Belle were lured into a trap—two men with big guns opened fire.
- Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos) hinted she might leave Montana… but set photos confirm she’s back for at least the premiere episode, "All Hat No Cattle."
- Everyone else? Radio silence. The show is keeping secrets.
What About Kayce’s Love Life?
Since losing his wife (between Yellowstone and Marshals), Kayce has had two potential sparks:
- Andrea Cruz – A close moment in Episode 9
- Dolly Weaver (Ellyn Jameson) – Held hands after an accident; finale teased more
Season 2 will likely explore this further. Team Andrea or Team Dolly? Let us know in your head.
By the Numbers: Season 1 Success
