The first trailer for Marshals Season 2 has finally arrived, bringing fans back into the dangerous world of Kayce Dutton and the elite U.S. Marshals unit. While the new footage offers another glimpse of Luke Grimes returning as the former Navy SEAL and Montana lawman, viewers quickly noticed that two important characters were nowhere to be seen. The noticeable absence of Pete Calvin and Belle Skinner has immediately sparked speculation about what the upcoming season has planned for the fan-favorite duo.

CBS has released the first teaser for the second season of Marshals, but instead of answering questions left behind by the Season 1 finale, the trailer has created even more mystery. Fans are now wondering why Logan Marshall-Green’s Pete Calvin and Arielle Kebbel’s Belle Skinner were completely left out of the promotional footage. Their disappearance has led to theories that the show may be preparing a major storyline involving their characters.

At the end of Season 1, both Pete Calvin and Belle Skinner were left in uncertain situations. The two characters were investigating a lead connected to Tom Weaver’s operation when they arrived at a local house. During their investigation, they spotted Weaver’s foreman attempting to escape. Before they could follow him, armed attackers suddenly opened fire, leaving their fate unclear. The finale ended without revealing whether Calvin and Belle survived the attack, creating a major cliffhanger for the new season.

Because of that unresolved ending, their absence from the Season 2 trailer has only increased fan curiosity. Some viewers believe their missing appearances could mean their characters are no longer part of the story, but there has been no official confirmation that either Logan Marshall-Green or Arielle Kebbel is leaving the series. The more likely possibility is that the producers are intentionally keeping their storyline hidden until later episodes.

The decision to keep Pete and Belle out of the trailer may be a deliberate move to protect a major plot twist. Their characters remain important parts of Kayce Dutton’s team, and revealing their situations too early could spoil a major emotional or dramatic moment planned for Season 2. The mystery surrounding their disappearance has become one of the biggest talking points among fans following the trailer release.

Season 2 of Marshals will continue following Kayce Dutton as he transitions further into his role with the U.S. Marshals. After leaving behind much of the Yellowstone Ranch conflict, Kayce uses his experience as a cowboy and former Navy SEAL to help bring justice to Montana’s most dangerous situations. Alongside his team, he faces violent threats while struggling with the emotional and psychological weight that comes with his job.

Returning cast members include Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, who continues to deal with the challenges of protecting his family while following his own sense of morality. Kayce remains connected to his son Tate, played by Brecken Merrill, as well as Thomas Rainwater, portrayed by Gil Birmingham, and Mo, played by Mo Brings Plenty, from the Broken Rock Reservation.

The second season will also feature the return of several other key characters, including Ash Santos as Andrea Cruz and Tatanka Means as Miles Kittle. Brett Cullen is expected to return as Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Harry Gifford, the leader of the Montana Marshals operation. Ellyn Jameson will also continue her role as Dolly, the daughter of a local rancher who has developed a potential connection with Kayce.

Although many fans are hoping to see familiar faces from the Yellowstone universe appear, it remains unclear whether other characters from the original series will make appearances. Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, played by Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, are unlikely to appear soon because their own storyline continues in Texas. However, viewers are still hoping that other familiar characters from the ranch or the wider Yellowstone world could return in some form.

Production on Marshals Season 2 began in June, and the series is expected to return on CBS with episodes also available through Paramount+. The new season will reportedly feature a larger episode order than the first season, expanding from 13 episodes to approximately 18–20 episodes.

The series continues filming in Utah, mainly around the Park City area, where the Montana setting is recreated for the show. As anticipation builds, fans are waiting for more information about the upcoming season and, most importantly, answers about what happened to Pete Calvin and Belle Skinner.

For now, CBS appears to be keeping their storyline hidden. Their absence from the first Season 2 trailer does not confirm that they are gone, but it does suggest that something significant may be waiting for them when the series returns. Whether the duo is facing a shocking twist, a dangerous mission, or an unexpected comeback, their unfinished story remains one of the biggest mysteries heading into the new season.
