Fall has officially begun, and this week, so does CBS’ Fall programming slate.
It all kicks off on Sunday, with the return of “Marshals” and “Tracker.” Though the bulk of the networks Fall slate is made up of returners, there are also three brand new series premiering as well. That includes “Eternally Yours,” a new vampire comedy from the creators of “Ghosts” — perfectly timed for the beginning of the Halloween season.
Here are all the shows debuting or returning during CBS Premiere Week.
Marshals
Airs on Sundays
“Marshals” returns for its second season on Sunday, October 4 at 8:30 p.m. ET. The series follows Luke Grimes reprising his role as Kayce Dutton from “Yellowstone,” as he joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana.
In season 2, Jefferson White will reprise his role as fan-favorite Jimmy Hurdstrom, “a good-hearted yet rough-around-the-edges ranch hand who evolved from a troubled criminal into a resilient, proud cowboy,” in a recurring role.
“Marshals” will return to its typical 8 p.m. ET time slot on October 11.
