Marshals Season 1 finale arrives Sunday as conspiracies tighten

Marshals season – “Marshals” wraps Season 1 with Episode 13, “Wolves at the Door,” releasing Sunday, May 24 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and streaming on Paramount+—as Kayce Dutton faces a widening conspiracy tied to an assassination attempt and Broken Rock’s chairman Rainwater.
For Kayce Dutton, the end of “Marshals” Season 1 isn’t just another chapter—it’s a moment that forces him to stop bargaining with his own memories and confront something much bigger than one attack.
Episode 13, titled “Wolves at the Door,” is set to air Sunday, May 24 at 8 p.m. ET / PT on the CBS Television Network. It will also be available to stream on Paramount+.
The tension leading into the finale has been building across multiple storylines: Cal (Logan Marshall-Green) opens up about health struggles and reveals he has cancer; Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) weighs selling the Dutton Ranch while trying to let go of memories that keep pulling him back. and he gets reassurance from his son. Tate (Brecken Merrill). At the same time. Miles (Tatanka Means) learns that his friend Sabrina died from a fentanyl overdose. and the Marshals begin unearthing a drug cartel operating from Broken Rock.
As the season wraps. the Marshals “race to discover who’s targeting” Broken Rock chairman Rainwater after Kayce protects him in an assassination attempt. according to the episode preview. The preview also adds that “when a militia attacks, Kayce realizes the conspiracy is larger than anyone imagined.”.
That blend of personal reckoning and expanding threat is the point where the season’s emotional stakes and its criminal plot lines collide—Kayce is not only trying to survive what’s coming for Broken Rock, but also trying to stay intact as his past refuses to stay put.
The season has already been positioned as a breakout for CBS. The network renewed “Marshals” for Season 2 after it became the most-streamed CBS series premiere ever. CBS also said the March 1 premiere of “Marshals” was watched by 20.6 million viewers on Paramount platforms within seven days of its release.
“Marshals” Season 1 episodes air Sundays at 8 p.m. ET / PT on CBS. For streaming, the series is available on Paramount+ for Premium plan subscribers at the same time, while Paramount+ Essential subscribers can watch the next day.
The cast listed by Paramount Television Studios includes Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton; Logan Marshall-Green as Pete Calvin; Arielle Kebbel as Belle; Ash Santos as Andrea; Tatanka Means as Miles; Brecken Merrill as Tate Dutton; Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater; Mo Brings Plenty as Mo; and Riley Green as Garrett.
With Episode 13 set for Sunday night, everything points toward one question carrying through the final hour: who is truly behind the targeting—and how far does the conspiracy reach once it stops pretending it’s contained?

Militia attacks?? Sounds like they’re just making stuff up for ratings.
So Kayce protects Rainwater and then it’s a bigger conspiracy? I mean he should’ve just stayed out of it lol. Also fentanyl overdose?? That part hit.
Wait, I thought Broken Rock’s chairman was like… a good guy? If there’s a cartel running out of there then Rainwater probably ordered it or something. And Kayce bargaining with memories? That sounds like they’re going in circles.
I’m confused on the streaming part. Paramount+ Essential watches next day but it says 8 p.m. ET/PT too? Like which one is it CBS vs Paramount? Either way I’ll probably watch for the drama and the cancer reveal, just hate that Sabrina stuff with fentanyl. Seems so random to drop in mid-season like that.
