## Key points

- *Marshals* drew 15.14 million viewers for its second-season opener.
- That is about five million fewer than its February premiere.
- It remains ahead of *Tracker*, which had 13.86 million viewers.

## Summary

*Marshals*, a series in the *Yellowstone* universe following Kayce Dutton, has lost about five million viewers since its premiere. Despite the decline, its second-season opener remains the most-watched television show, though its lead over *Tracker* has narrowed.

The February premiere drew 20.6 million viewers, while Nielsen data put the series’ average audience at 19 million. The 4 October second-season episode, in which Kayce rescues his son Tate, attracted 15.14 million viewers, compared with 13.86 million for *Tracker*. The article says audience drops are common as a season progresses; continued losses would be a bigger concern.
