The premiere of the series "Marshals," which is part of Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone universe, attracted 9.52 million viewers, marking a significant success for CBS. This debut represents the network's strongest new series launch without NFL support since the show "FBI." The series features Luke Grimes reprising his role from Yellowstone, bringing the high linear viewership known from the Paramount Network to CBS.
This expansion of the Yellowstone franchise onto a broadcast network demonstrates the continued appeal and strong following of the storyline and characters. The solid ratings indicate that CBS has successfully captured the attention of a broad audience with this new addition to its lineup, reinforcing the franchise's value and reach beyond its original cable home.
