‘Y: Marshals’ sets premiere date on CBS
The channel has unveiled midseason release dates for some of its most anticipated shows.
As CBS is wrapping up its traditional fall prime time season, the network is already looking ahead to an impressive slate of midseason premieres. The network has announced the premiere dates for a handful of new shows coming in the new year, including the first broadcast channel title from the “Yellowstone” universe, “Y: Marshals.”
Key Details:
- Sheridan spring: “Y: Marshals” will be released on March 1.
- Not done with Duttons: The series focuses on Kayce Dutton in his new role as a U.S. Marshal.
- True crime, too: A new Harlan Coben series is also set to premiere on CBS in the coming months.
Paramount announced that “Y: Marshals” will be released on CBS on Sunday, March 1, and that new episodes will debut on the Eye Network each week, and following their linear premiere, they will become available on Paramount+. The series is the next title from Taylor Sheridan to be announced on Paramount platforms.
“Y: Marshals” follows Kayce Dutton, a former rancher and U.S. Navy SEAL, as he joins a specialized team of Marshals tasked with protecting Montana. Luke Grimes will reprise his role as Dutton in the series, and fellow “Yellowstone” cast members Gil Birmingham (Thomas Rainwater), Mo Brings Plenty (Mo), and Brecken Merrill (Tate Dutton) will return to their roles as well.
The series is just one of many titles set in the “Yellowstone” universe that Paramount is working on. However, the show could also lead to a legal challenge from NBCUniversal, which earlier this year asserted that its contract with Paramount means that the streaming rights to “Y: Marshals” rightfully belong to Comcast. There has been no report of potential legal action over the spinoff yet, but things could get even more complicated since Sheridan signed a massive deal with NBCU to leave Paramount in 2029.
“Y: Marshals” may have been the biggest announcement in Paramount’s midseason release schedule, but it wasn’t the only one. The company also announced that “Survivor” Season 50 would premiere on Wednesday, Feb. 25. The new Dick Wolf drama series “CIA” comes out on Feb. 23, and a new cooking series “America’s Culinary Cup” debuts on March 4.
CBS will also get a new true crime drama called “Harlan Coben’s Final Twist,” which debuts on Jan. 7. Many of Coben’s most popular mystery and thriller novels have been adapted into TV shows on Netflix and Prime Video, but he hasn’t lent his hand to a large selection of titles on linear TV yet.
