\n\tMarshals<\/a>, CBS<\/a>\u2019 Yellowstone<\/a> spinoff starring Luke Grimes\u2019 Kayce Dutton, closed out its freshman finale with another firefight, a new bad guy and a love interest that seems to have cemented herself with full \u201cRomeo and Juliet vibes\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s clearly still pretty violent in the mountains of Montana, long after John Dutton passed away.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe finale ended on a pretty major cliffhanger with two of Kayce Dutton\u2019s fellow Marshals \u2013 Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Pete \u201cCal\u201d Calvin, played by Logan Marshall-Green and Deputy U.S. Marshal Isabel \u201cBelle\u201d Skinner-Turek, played by Arielle Kebbel \u2013 in imminent danger after being led to a house where they encounter two men with big guns shooting at them.<\/p>\n

\n\tOne would surmise that the pair make it to Season 2 given they are key members of the team (and series regulars), but then Taylor Sheridan has never exec produced a network procedural before.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s also the potential exit of Deputy U.S. Marshal Andrea Cruz, played by Ash Santos, who is on a will-they-or-won\u2019t-they finally leave Montana tour that will also likely play out in its sophomore season.<\/p>\n

\n\tThen, there\u2019s Kayce Dutton\u2019s love life. The man lost his wife somewhere between the end of Yellowstone and the start of Marshals, but he\u2019s been dancing around at least two potential romances across the season. There was the moment in episode nine where it looked like he and Cruz were getting close and he held hands with Dolly Weaver, played by Ellyn Jameson, after the accident involving Garrett, played by country star Riley Green.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut towards the end of the season finale, Dutton is seen, once again, riding off into the sun with the blonde transplant Dolly Weaver. Whatever would Monica think?<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, Dutton is, at this point, unaware that Dolly\u2019s father, Tom Weaver, played by Chris Mulkley, the Wall Street trader turned rancher who has been trying to buy his East Camp, is not quite the stand-up guy that everyone\u2019s been led to believe.<\/p>\n

\n\tTom Weaver, it turns out, is just like all of the New York baddies that Sheridan has written over the years. He\u2019s just after their land, man.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe other problem is that Weaver senior is taking Dutton\u2019s son Tate, played by Brecken Merrill, bass fishing in Texas while his father \u201ccleans this mess up\u201d. Dolly will stay in Montana by Dutton\u2019s side. \u201cWho cares about Texas, my heart\u2019s in Montana,\u201d she tells him, a line that likely isn\u2019t setting up a crossover with Sheridan\u2019s other Yellowstone spinoff, Dutton Ranch, which is set in the fictional Lone Star town of Rio Paloma, but could. <\/p>\n

\n\tTom Weaver, it seems, is behind the multiple assassination attempt on Thomas Rainwater, the elected high chief for the Confederated Tribes of Broken Rock played by Gil Birmingham. It\u2019s his money and his bad guys that are doing the shooting.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tMarshals (Fred Hayes\/CBS)<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Marshals is largely a fairly, run-of-the-mill CBS procedural with gun-toting cases of the week, it does like to remind you that it\u2019s still a Yellowstone spinoff. When the guns are down, creator Spencer Hudnut and his team love to throw in a nice shot of the Montana landscape and some land lore.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy family\u2019s had this land for almost 150 years, a lot of blood, pain and heartache came with it, lord knows I\u2019ve had my share,\u201d Kayce Dutton says in a speech that could have been straight out of the mothership series.<\/p>\n

\n\tDutton doesn\u2019t really want to sell his land, much like his father, played by Kevin Costner, didn\u2019t across five seasons on Paramount Network.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCarrying out the ashes of a fire that killed my friend, standing in the shadow of a house where my wife died, there\u2019s definitely been a dark cloud over East Camp,\u201d he adds. \u201cCome spring, the grass will grow, the calves will start hitting the ground and this ranch will be full of life. My life\u2019s been defined by losing the things I love, East Camp\u2019s one thing that I can hold on to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHis son is also getting in on the act, after gunning down another villain in his home to protect Rainwater. \u201cYou always fight for family, right,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\n\tMarshals has clearly been a huge success for CBS; the premiere episode nearly tripled its audience over 28 days<\/a>, amassing 26.5M viewers across broadcast and streaming over its first month, and becoming the second most-watched show on TV after\u00a0Stranger Things, per Nielsen.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s not to say it hasn\u2019t had its detractors. The procedural turn has seen some social media users refer to it as \u201cNCIS: Billings\u201d, which, honestly, could well be on the CBS development slate. <\/p>\n

\n\tHudnut, who serves as showrunner, previously ran SEAL Team, so he\u2019s likely heard it all before and is currently gearing up for season two in Utah right now.<\/p>\n

\n\tMarshals is produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios. It is exec produced by Hudnut, Grimes, Sheridan, David Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Freidman and Greg Yaitanes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marshals, CBS\u2019 Yellowstone spinoff starring Luke Grimes\u2019 Kayce Dutton, closed out its freshman finale with another firefight, a…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":820245,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[9],"tags":[15328,171,262778,67,132,68,16544],"class_list":["post-820244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-cbs","tag-entertainment","tag-marshals","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-yellowstone"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116633088184366721","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/820244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=820244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/820244\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/820245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=820244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=820244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=820244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
