‘Marshals’ Season 2 Episode 2 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch as a Vengeful Ex-Cop Hunts One of Its Own
The wait for ‘Marshals‘ season 2 episode 2 is almost over, and the Yellowstone sequel is wasting no time raising the stakes. The season opener sees Kayce go rogue to save Tate from a hostage crisis, which leaves the follow up with plenty of momentum to carry.
The episode is titled “End of Watch,” and it swaps the family emergency for a brand new threat. Here is everything fans need to know about the release date, the time, where to watch and what the preview reveals.
‘Marshals’ Season 2 Episode 2 Release Date
‘Marshals’ season 2 episode 2 arrives on Sunday, October 11, 2026. That makes it the second chapter of a run that kicked off just a week earlier. The premiere, “All Hat No Cattle,” aired on October 4, so there is no long gap before the story moves on.
“End of Watch” was written by Dana Greenblatt and Bryan Garcia, and directed by Ruben Garcia. That gives the hour a fresh creative pairing behind it as the season finds its rhythm.
The quick turnaround fits the show’s history. ‘Marshals’ premiered in March 2026 and was renewed for a second season the same month, and the renewal came within two weeks of a premiere that drew massive viewing numbers. Episode 3, “Falling Sky,” is slated for October 18, so fans will not have to wait long for what comes next.
Release Time for the Next ‘Marshals’ Episode
Fans who tuned in for the opener will notice a small change. The premiere aired at a special time of 8.30 PM ET on CBS, which was half an hour later than usual. From October 11, ‘Marshals’ moves into its regular Sunday time slot at 8 PM.
Episode 2 airs from 8 to 9 PM ET and PT on CBS. That means viewers in every US time zone should check their local listings, because local stations and sports broadcasts can move the start time.
New episodes are set to arrive weekly on Sundays, so the 8 PM slot should become the standing appointment for fans of Kayce Dutton and his team.
Where to Watch ‘Marshals’ on CBS and Paramount+
‘Marshals’ season 2 airs on CBS in the United States. Anyone with an antenna, a cable package or a live TV streaming plan that carries their local CBS station can watch as the episode airs.
Paramount+ is the other route, though the plan matters. Premium subscribers can stream live and on demand, while Essential subscribers get the episode on demand the day after it airs.
For Essential subscribers that next day wait means a full Sunday night of dodging social media. With a story built around a killer targeting one of the team, spoilers will travel fast.
‘Marshals’ Season 2 Episode 2 Preview
The official overview of ‘End of Watch’ sets up a tense hour. A former cop launches a killing spree against those he blames for sabotaging his career, and the Marshals close in while one of their own ends up in the vengeful killer’s crosshairs. The marshal in danger has not been named, which should keep the guessing game going all week.
The case is not the only pressure point. Rainwater faces mounting political pressure and backlash over his leadership on the reservation, and Belle struggles to keep her family life stable. Belle’s storyline carries extra weight because she is secretly a compulsive gambler who is deeply in debt.
Official photos hint at who gets the spotlight. Luke Grimes appears as Kayce alongside Ash Santos as Andrea Cruz and Gil Birmingham as Rainwater, and Arielle Kebbel and Logan Marshall-Green are pictured together in the episode as well. The bigger picture matters too, since Chris Mulkey’s Tom Weaver is set up as the season’s main villain, so a lone killer with a grudge may only be the first test.
With a marshal in the killer’s crosshairs and Rainwater under fire at home, which member of the team do you think is most at risk in ‘End of Watch’, and would Kayce be the one to pull them out of it?
