Marshals Cast Reveals Which Yellowstone Characters They Most Want Back
Kayce’s New Chapter
Yellowstone ended with Kayce Dutton finding peace with his wife, Monica, and their son, Tate, at East Camp after he sold the family ranch to the Broken Rock Tribe. In Marshals, he is back in Montana, working as a U.S. marshal and raising Tate as a single father after Monica’s death.
The role puts Kayce up against threats as a lawman and a Dutton, carrying the weight of his family name. Beth and Rip, meanwhile, have moved to Texas to start a new life.
A Larger Second Season
Marshals’ first season shifted the franchise from Yellowstone’s cable drama style to a network procedural. The season ended on a cliffhanger, and CBS renewed the series for 20 episodes in Season 2, up from 13 in its first season.
Luke Grimes and Brecken Merrill return as Kayce and Tate. New cast members include Logan Marshall-Green as Pete “Cal” Calvin, the team’s chief and Kayce’s former Navy SEAL senior chief, along with Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos and Tatanka Means.
Gil Birmingham and Mo Brings Plenty also return as Broken Rock figures Thomas Rainwater and Mo. The series continues to combine weekly cases with action and elements of the Yellowstone world.
Detailed Sets In Utah
Most of Marshals is filmed in Park City, Utah, although the story, like Yellowstone, is set in Montana near Bozeman. At Utah Film Studios, crews built detailed interiors for the marshals’ headquarters, Kayce’s cabin and the Bullet ’n Barrel Saloon.
The sets include photographs of Monica and Tate, articles about Cal’s Navy SEAL record and decorative shotgun-shell lights. The headquarters fireplace uses real stone, while the cabin and bar feature real-wood beams.
Filming Beyond The Studio
The production films exterior scenes around Park City. Thousand Peaks Ranch, used during early seasons of Yellowstone and for Wind River, is among the locations, while the historic Ontario Mine serves as the outside of the marshals’ headquarters.
The production also previewed an episode set on a train. Filming aboard a real train required the crew to follow federal regulations.
