Marshals Season 2 Gets 20 Episodes, Longest in Yellowstone Franchise

Logan Marshall-Green has confirmed that Marshals season 2 will consist of 20 episodes, seven more than the debut season. Filming for the remainder of the season will continue until early December, according to Screen Rant.

The extended episode count makes it the longest season in Yellowstone franchise history. New episodes of Marshals season 2 air Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.

Season 1 of Marshals proved a major viewership hit for CBS, garnering the largest same-day audience for a scripted series on the network since FBI's premiere in 2018. Luke Grimes indicated shortly after Marshals season 2's greenlight that they would be getting more episodes upon its return, though stated that a final decision had yet to be made about whether it would be 18 or 20.

Other series have seen similar episode expansions. Shemar Moore's S.W.A.T. went from 13 to 22 episodes in its debut season, while Justin Hartley's Tracker rose from 13 to 20 episodes. The Kevin Costner-led mainline Yellowstone series holds the record for the longest overall show with its 53-episode run on Paramount Network, and its fifth and final season was originally the longest season at 14 episodes split across two parts. Fellow Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch was a hit for sister streaming platform Paramount+.
