Marshals will look a bit different when it returns for season 2 after some cast shakeups.
Deadline confirmed that the Yellowstone spinoff, which is currently back in production in Utah, will feature more seasons with Cal’s (Logan Marshall-Green) estranged daughter, Maddie (Morgan Lindholm).
Lindholm’s expanded role comes after Maddie was introduced in season 1 as a bartender with a surprising connection to Cal. She later started dating Miles (Tatanka Means), which will also continue to be explored.
The show also cast Marque Richardson in a recurring role as Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Burns. Ahead of the cast evolving, CBS released a first look at season 2 in which Kayce (Luke Grimes), Miles, Andrea (Ash Santos) and Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) were featured — but Cal and Belle (Arielle Kebbel) were noticeably missing.
During the season 1 finale, which aired in May, Andrea was offered a job that would take her from Montana to Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, Belle and Cal were on a mission when they got ambushed — with Tom Weaver (Chris Mulkey) involved in the potentially deadly situation.
It wasn’t clear whether Belle and Cal were killed off screen despite the show being renewed for season 2. Marshall-Green, 49, and Kebbel, however, hinted to The Hollywood Reporter that they have begun filming season 2.
“I can confirm [Cal] is alive, but not necessarily unscathed,” Marshall-Green told the outlet. “I think I can confirm that for everybody in the damn show, because everybody’s going through it by the end of this thing. I’m hours away of shooting [season 2, episode 1]. I can tell you that we’re all going through things — without giving anything away.”
Kebbel also weighed in, saying, “I am a part of season 2, yes. We start filming [season 2] with a pick up of that [finale] moment. My head is so deep into season 2 already.”
The actress recalled her initial reaction to the finale script.
“After reading that big cliffhanger, I should have asked myself if Belle survives! But the truth is that I’m so used to Belle being in precarious situations almost every episode,” she noted. “And even though both Belle and Cal are there, it felt in that moment that, because Cal is in front, he’s the one in more in danger. I’m behind him, based on where we ended the episode. So when I read it, my head went to, ‘What’s going to happen to Cal?’”
Looking ahead, Marshall-Green made it clear he has no plans to leave the show, adding, “I love employment! I love steady income, and I love more than anything this crew and this cast. I could easily see myself making this show for many years.”
He continued: “Now — where is the story juiciest, now that we’re dealing with a subject matter like cancer? I don’t wanna sugarcoat it. I don’t want kid gloves on. I don’t want a safe approach. I want Cal to go through it, because I think that is the duty to these men and women who come back from uniform.”
Marshall-Green had hope in the show’s creative team.
“And maybe there’s a way, with the advancement of treatments, to have both worlds. But really, in the end, it’s about what stories are left to tell,” he continued. “That’s up to Yana Grebenyuk Spencer [Hudnut] and the writers, and also Luke [Grimes]. Luke’s been playing this role for a long time. But I think I can speak for everybody when I say that we love coming to work, and, boy, do we come to work. The first season was a grueling shoot.”
Marshals is streaming on Paramount+ now and returns this fall on CBS.
