Yellowstone is still several years away from its ten-year anniversary, but the show has done more than most other shows do in twice as much time. The neo-Western became a ratings magnet and one of the most iconic in the genre. Although the flagship series concluded in 2023, the Yellowstone universe has lived on through numerous spin-offs exploring the Dutton family’s beginnings and their future after the events of the Paramount Network series. Taylor Sheridan remained at the helm of the series, and while he has relinquished some control in the sequels, he still remains an important part of the Yellowstone universe.
Paramount enlisted new creatives to oversee the next stage of the Dutton family in the two current spin-offs, Dutton Ranch and Marshals. Chad Feehan created the former, while Spencer Hudnut oversees the latter. Both shows have seen major success on their respective platforms, but Marshals has had an impressive run since it premiered last year. The series became the number-one show on television, drawing over 20 million viewers and outpaced Tracker for most viewers. Despite an initially negative reception, it has seen steady viewership and is back for another season.
*Marshals* Season 2 began airing this month on October 4, picking up from the events of the Season 1 finale, which saw Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) and his team face off against foes. CBS reports that, once again, Marshals is the network’s most-watched scripted drama, according to Nielsen live and same-day viewership figures. The Season 2 premiere drew 8.2 million viewers, while the next scripted program, Tracker, drew 7 million. These figures suggest the show has largely retained its viewership going into the new season, but the full comparison will take longer as Nielsen compiles streaming numbers into its 35-day multiplatform viewership. This will paint a clearer picture of how Season 2 is performing compared to Season 1. Meanwhile, new episodes air on Sundays at 8 pm ET.
The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.
You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.
You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.
Watch new episodes of Marshals on CBS on Sundays at 8 pm ET or stream on Paramount+. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
