Taylor Sheridan has been on a creative tear in 2026, expanding the Yellowstone universe with new series like Dutton Ranch and original Westerns such as The Madison. But one spin-off has quietly become a streaming powerhouse: Marshals, which follows Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) as he takes on a new role as a U.S. marshal after the events of the original series.
According to recent viewership data, Marshals Season 1 has racked up a staggering 528 million minutes watched on Paramount Plus, and the numbers keep climbing. The show remains in the platform's global top 10 across more than 50 countries, proving that audiences can't get enough of Sheridan's gritty storytelling. This success comes as no surprise, given the show's unique blend of Western drama and procedural action.
A Bold Move to Network TV
What sets Marshals apart from other Sheridan projects is its release strategy. The series debuted on CBS before hitting Paramount Plus, marking the first time a Sheridan show premiered on network television. The gamble paid off, drawing in a broader audience and boosting the show's visibility. With Dutton Ranch wrapping up over Fourth of July weekend and The Madison already concluded, Marshals is filling the void for Yellowstone fans hungry for more.
Sheridan's schedule remains packed. The third season of Lioness drops on August 2, while Landman Season 3 has been pushed to 2027 due to production delays. But Marshals is moving full steam ahead.
Season 2 Already in Production
Paramount has officially renewed Marshals for a second season, with cameras already rolling. Given its network TV format, fans can expect new episodes annually, a faster turnaround than typical streaming series. Country music star Riley Green made a cameo in Season 1, hinting at more celebrity appearances to come. For those who haven't caught up, the entire first season is streaming now on Paramount Plus.
As the Yellowstone universe continues to expand, Marshals proves that even underrated spin-offs can become major hits. With Season 2 on the way and Sheridan's creative engine running at full throttle, the Dutton legacy is far from over. Stay tuned for more updates on Marshals and other Sheridan projects.
