Marshals Season 2 Stages a Major SEAL Team Reunion With New Cast Additions

Marshals Season 2 is in full swing following an explosive premiere that firmly cements its place within Taylor Sheridan’s expansive universe. While it seamlessly adopts the grit, tone, and sweeping landscapes of Yellowstone, complete with returning legacy characters, it simultaneously carves out its own identity by blending the franchise’s signature neo-Western style with a case-of-the-week procedural format perfectly suited for appointment viewing. The spin-off also boasts a stacked ensemble of highly capable actors, including two newcomers joining to shake things up after their notable runs on SEAL Team.

Episode 5 featured multiple high-stakes operations, including a hunt that culminated in a standoff with a notorious bomber. The show picks up on that cliffhanger this Sunday, while putting Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos) to the test as temporary leader. It’s unclear how the role plays into her long-term arc, or how long she will take point in future operations. The storyline is expected to shift next month with the arrival of two new players, including a calculating villain.

SEAL Team stars Judd Lormand and Beau Knapp are confirmed for recurring roles in Marshals beginning with Season 2, Episode 7, marking their reunion with showrunner Spencer Hudnut, who previously helmed SEAL Team‘s final five seasons. Lormand, who played Commander Eric Blackburn throughout SEAL Team‘s entire run, joins Marshals as Eddie, a “Homeland Security Investigations officer visiting from New York in preparation for a high-profile trial,” per TV Line. “Grounded, a father and former athlete, not afraid to hop into the fray, Eddie appreciates a straight answer and admires an operator with strong instincts and guts.”

Knapp, who played Officer Drew Franklin in SEAL Team‘s final season, will play Eric, “the intense leader of a farming cult group suspected of running a large counterfeit alcohol operation. A master manipulator with a God complex, eerily calm in tense situations, Eric is a sharp reader of vulnerable people who use their weakest points to control them.” Marshals is Knapp’s second entry into the Sheridanverse; he is a series regular in Tulsa King, joining Season 3 as Cole Dunmire, son of liquor business owner Jeremiah Dunmire.

SEAL Team aired its first four seasons on CBS from 2017 to 2021 before transitioning to Paramount+ for three more seasons, concluding in 2024. A spin-off movie was reportedly in the works under the streamer since 2022, but was ultimately scrapped after the show was canceled. Its lead stars have since moved on to other projects; David Boreanaz is set to star in a reboot of The Rockford Files, Neil Brown Jr. headlines The Varnell Hill Show, and Jessica Paré is part of Crew Girl‘s main cast. Max Theriot also created, produced, and starred in Fire Country shortly after SEAL Team ended.
