The Yellowstone universe continues to expand with Marshals, the highly anticipated spinoff starring Luke Grimes. Following the footsteps of the massive ranching saga, this new series shifts focus to Kayce Dutton, a former Navy SEAL who has transitioned into an elite unit of US Marshals. Tasked with bringing justice to the rugged landscapes of Montana, the series has quickly become a cornerstone of the expanding Sheridan-verse.
Where and When to Watch
As the series progresses, viewers may find different viewing experiences depending on their streaming platform. While the show airs on CBS, the availability on Paramount Plus depends heavily on your specific subscription tier.

Context: The Expanding Yellowstone Universe
The success of Marshals underscores a broader trend in modern television: the “universe-building” model. Much like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, creator Taylor Sheridan is building a interconnected web of stories that allow viewers to explore different facets of the same world.
By bringing back veteran actors like Gil Birmingham (Thomas Rainwater) and introducing characters like Tate (played by Brecken Merrill), the show bridges the gap between the original Yellowstone series and this new law-enforcement-driven narrative. This strategy ensures a built-in audience while offering fresh perspectives on the Montana setting.
Summary: Viewing options for Marshals depend on your Paramount Plus tier, with Premium users getting live access on Sundays and Essential users receiving episodes on Mondays.
