All hat, no cattle.

Four months after it last aired on CBS, the “Yellowstone” spinoff “Marshals” returns for Season 2 tonight, Oct. 4. The series follows youngest Dutton son Kayce (Luke Grimes) as he joins a specialized group of U.S. Marshals tasked with protecting Montana.

Season 1 wrapped up with many of the show’s main characters going in different directions. Cruz was D.C.-bound, Belle and Cal were getting shot at and Tate was kidnapped, likely to be used as leverage.

Season 2 will pick up where Season 1 left off. CBS’s official description of the season premiere reads, “When Kayce realizes Tate has been taken hostage, he goes rogue in a desperate race to save his son as the Marshals uncover a powerful criminal operation tied to the East Camp land grab. A violent showdown ensues, putting everything Kayce cares about at risk.”

What time is ‘Marshals’ on tonight?

The Season 2 premiere of ‘Marshals’ airs at 8:30 p.m. ET tonight, Oct. 4.
