Taylor Sheridan's CBS series *Marshals*, a spin-off of *Yellowstone*, is set to expand the role of Morgan Lindholm's character Maddie in its second season, addressing a storyline fans felt was underdeveloped in the show's debut run. The move ties Maddie's personal life more closely to that of her father, Pete "Cal" Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green), whose ongoing cancer diagnosis storyline is also being given greater focus, deepening the emotional stakes of the series as it continues beyond its first season.

Cal spent much of Season 1 attempting to reconcile with his estranged daughter Maddie, a relationship already complicated by her romance with his subordinate, Miles (Tatanka Means), which has caused workplace friction between the two men. With Cal now facing a cancer diagnosis and the physical toll it brings, Season 2 is expected to further entangle his personal and professional lives, building on a plotline previously criticised as thin.
