Cast shake-up hits two major roles in Marshals season 2
CBS has sealed a pair of big Marshals Season 2 cast shake-ups, with cameras rolling since June in Park City and the series due back this autumn.
If you were hoping for a mellow off-season, think again: Marshals is back in action for Season 2, and CBS has been quietly tinkering with the cast behind the scenes. Production just kicked off in June, out in Park City, Utah—that rugged mountain look isn’t going anywhere. The show’s due to return to screens this autumn, bringing with it both fresh faces and a couple of familiar names stepping further into the spotlight.
Biggest Changes on Deck
There’s one particularly intriguing new addition: Marque Richardson has signed on for a recurring role as Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Burns. This isn’t just stunt-casting; dropping a federal prosecutor into the story means the marshals won’t just be dealing with shootouts and dusty trails, but also getting a grilling from the legal side. Picture all the usual gnarly street confrontations, but now with a dose of courtroom heat.
As for the regulars, Morgan Lindholm is back as Maddie—the bartender at the Bullet 'N Barrel (yes, the show’s go-to watering hole), who just so happens to be Cal’s estranged daughter. Last season only scratched the surface with her, but she’ll be a much bigger presence now. If Cal survives (more on that mess in a second), he’s looking at some proper family drama this year, not just showdowns with bad guys. All the while, the bar stays the team’s meeting spot, so expect Maddie’s storyline to get woven through both personal and professional threads.
- Marque Richardson as Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Burns (recurring, new character)
- Morgan Lindholm as Maddie (now a major recurring player; Cal’s daughter and Bullet 'N Barrel bartender)
- Returning cast: Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, Tatanka Means as Miles, Ash Santos as Andrea, and Logan Marshall-Green as Cal
Catching Up: Where Things Left Off
If you need reminding, Season 1 ended with Cal and Belle Skinner-Turek (the team’s steely mainstays) caught in a shootout at some isolated shack. Their fate? The show left it deliberately unclear—proper old-school cliffhanger. However, going by recently-leaked set photos, both Means and Santos are back in action for the Season 2 opener, fitted with the strikingly unsubtle episode title: ‘All Hat No Cattle’.
Filming on Marshals Season 2 kicked off in June 2026, with the new episodes due in autumn.
It’s worth pointing out: Richardson’s arrival and Lindholm’s expanded arc signal a clear tilt away from just shoot-‘em-up and chase sequences. Burns means legal scrutiny, while Maddie’s increased presence pulls Cal’s personal baggage into the open. Plus, the trusty Bullet 'N Barrel bar isn’t just backdrop mid-plot—it becomes a spot for awkward father-daughter reunions and maybe, if we’re lucky, some actual reconciliation.
The Yellowstone DNA Isn’t Far Off
The basics remain the same: Kayce Dutton (post-Yellowstone Ranch life) leads this outfit, blending the stoic cowboy bit with his Navy SEAL past. His core team: Cal (presuming survival), Belle, Andrea, and Miles, are all back for more psychological scars—turns out being the last line of defence in Montana takes a toll. Kayce’s got enough plates spinning as it is, with family (yes, son Tate is still around, plus Mo and Thomas Rainwater from Broken Rock) and now, a possible love life storyline shoved in as well.
Production is in the hands of Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios, for anyone keeping tabs on who’s footing the bill and shaping the drama.
