Production for the first season of ‘Marshals’ began in March 2026, returning to the Beehive State, where the initial seasons of its predecessor, ‘Yellowstone’, were also filmed. The decision to shoot in Utah was influenced by attractive tax incentives provided by the state’s film incentive program. This initiative offers cash rebates and tax credits, particularly for productions taking place in rural areas, making it an appealing choice for film studios, including Paramount.
“The appeal of Utah for film and television is undeniable,” remarked Adam Morra, Vice President of Production Planning and Finance at Paramount, in a statement made to the Utah Film Commission. “With its diverse landscapes, skilled crews, and dedicated film office, it is an excellent location for our productions.” Utah’s film incentive is a significant lure, and Morra acknowledged its importance in the production landscape.
‘Marshals’ continues to chart Kayce Dutton’s journey after the sale of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch to the Broken Rock Reservation. The show is led by actor Luke Grimes, with a storyline that intertwines personal and professional challenges faced by its characters. Following its successful first season and a swift renewal, the second season entered production in Utah in June 2026, with fans eagerly awaiting its release.
Filming locations span various regions across Utah, and the production team has made the most of the state’s scenic beauty. According to the Utah Film Commission, Season 1 was filmed primarily in Morgan, Summit, and Wasatch counties. Notable amongst several significant locations is East Camp, which officially became part of the Dutton legacy, having been gifted to Kayce by his father, John Dutton III. In the real world, scenes set in East Camp were filmed at a cabin located near Oakley, Utah.
Another prominent location featured in ‘Marshals’ is the Bullet ’n Barrel bar, where characters frequently congregate. This lively establishment is integral to the storyline and has become a familiar setting for fans. The real-world counterpart for this bar is the Boneyard Saloon, situated in Park City, Utah. Additionally, the series includes musical guest appearances from artists such as Adam Sanders and Channing Wilson, further enhancing its allure.
In addition to these locations, the series incorporates other real establishments to deepen its narrative. The exterior of the historic Ontario Mine in Park City is depicted as the headquarters for the Marshals. Moreover, Mac’s Motel, featured in the final episode of the first season, is located in Heber City, Utah, and also continues to operate as a motel today, making it a tangible spot for fans to visit.
As production for Season 2 of ‘Marshals’ wrapped up in Utah, Drew Brown, the Executive Vice President of Production at Paramount Television Studios, expressed delight at returning to the state. His comments emphasised the invaluable support from the Utah Film Commission and the advantage of utilising local expertise and resources. “Utah has provided an incredible backdrop for ‘Marshals’, and we are thrilled to continue filming here for our second season,” Brown shared.
The upcoming season promises to offer more of the captivating storytelling and stunning visuals that fans have come to expect. As the release date approaches, anticipation continues to build around ‘Marshals’, heralding another exciting venture into the rich tapestry that is the ‘Yellowstone’ universe. With its combination of dramatic narrative and picturesque filming locations, the series is poised to maintain its status as a significant player in contemporary television drama.
As the premiere date of 4th October draws near, viewers are keenly looking forward to following Kayce Dutton on his journey along with the beloved characters that continue to define this compelling narrative. The integration of real-life locations adds authenticity to the series, creating a sense of connection for fans both near and far.
