The Yellowstone universe continues to expand with Marshals, the highly anticipated spinoff starring Luke Grimes. Following the epic saga of the Dutton family, this new series shifts focus to Kayce Dutton, a former Navy SEAL who now serves within an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, bringing law and order to the rugged landscapes of Montana.
Viewing Options: Paramount Plus vs. CBS
For fans looking to catch the latest episodes, how you watch depends heavily on your specific streaming subscription. Because Marshals airs on CBS, there is a distinction between “live” viewing and “on-demand” viewing.
- Paramount Plus Premium: This tier includes your local CBS station. Subscribers can watch episodes live as they air on CBS.
- Paramount Plus Essential: This tier does not include live CBS programming. Subscribers must wait until the following Monday to stream the episode on demand.
This distinction is important for viewers who want to avoid spoilers, as the social media conversation often begins immediately after the Sunday night broadcast.
