\t[This story contains major spoilers from the season one finale of Marshals<\/a><\/em>, \u201cWolves at the Door.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tThe first season of Marshals<\/em> ended with a literal bang that left the life of two characters hanging in the balance, while also placing star Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes<\/a>) and his son Tate (Brecken Merrill) in harm\u2019s way heading into the already renewed second season<\/a> of the Yellowstone<\/a><\/em> spinoff. <\/p>\n

\tTwo members of Kayce\u2019s elite marshals unit \u2014 Cal, played by Logan Marshall-Green, and Belle, played by Arielle Kebbel \u2014 are ambushed by gunmen working for the Weaver family in the final moments of the season one finale, titled \u201cWolves at the Door.\u201d The surprise betrayal unveils rancher patriarch Tom Weaver (Chris Mulkey) as the mastermind behind the attacks on Broken Rock chairman Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) and introduces Weaver as a season two villain in a land dispute that the Dutton son isn\u2019t even aware of yet. As Cal and Belle are being shot at, Kayce, who just turned down Tom\u2019s offer to buy his East Camp ranch, is riding off into the sunset with his new love interest, Weaver\u2019s daughter Dolly (Ellyn Jameson), and Kayce\u2019s son Tate is heading off with Tom \u2014 neither aware of the threat lurking ahead. \t<\/p>\n

\tMarshall-Green and Kebbel spoke with The Hollywood Reporter <\/em>as they begin filming season two to reveal that yes, they are each part of the forthcoming season. But even though Cal and Belle survive that cliffhanger ambush, that doesn\u2019t mean anyone is out of harm\u2019s way yet on Marshals<\/em>. The drama brings forth showrunner Spencer Hudnut\u2019s plan <\/a>to create a multi-season hit series <\/a>post-Yellowstone<\/em>. Read our chat, combined from two separate interviews, below. \t<\/p>\n

\t***<\/p>\n

\tLogan, can you confirm if Cal is alive after that finale?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tLOGAN MARSHALL-GREEN<\/strong> I can confirm he is alive, but not necessarily unscathed. I think I can confirm that for everybody in the damn show, because everybody\u2019s going through it by the end of this thing. I\u2019m hours away of shooting [season two, episode one]. I can tell you that we\u2019re all going through things \u2014 without giving anything away.<\/p>\n

\tSame question for Belle \u2014 Arielle, can you confirm that she is also alive after that finale attack?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tARIELLE KEBBEL<\/strong> I am a part of season two, yes. We start filming [season two] with a pick up of that [finale] moment. My head is so deep into season two already. <\/p>\n

\tLogan, when you signed onto the show, did you know Cal\u2019s arc from the start, or were you getting episodes by episodes as you were shooting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tMARSHALL-GREEN <\/strong>I was getting the inner workings of scenes episode by episode, but I knew from the jump a lot of what Cal knew, and what Kayce knew, as you now know after the last episode. I also knew what none of the team knew, which is that I was in Montana not to be a marshal, but to be closer to my estranged daughter. I also knew something that nobody knew, which is that this pain in my neck that you see me playing throughout, which feels muscular, is a very rare form of cancer. And it\u2019s prevalent in soldiers who have been around burn pits. Where we go with that story next is yet to be seen.<\/p>\n

\tYou didn\u2019t know that a season two was confirmed<\/a> when you filmed this cliffhanger ending. So when you each read the finale script, how did you react and what questions did you have for your showrunner, Spencer Hudnut, about if you survive?<\/strong> \t<\/p>\n

\tKEBBEL<\/strong> After reading that big cliffhanger, I should have asked myself if Belle survives! But the truth is that I\u2019m so used to Belle being in precarious situations almost every episode. And even though both Belle and Cal are there, it felt in that moment that, because Cal is in front, he\u2019s the one in more in danger. I\u2019m behind him, based on where we ended the episode. So when I read it, my head went to, \u201cWhat\u2019s going to happen to Cal?\u201d <\/p>\n

\tMARSHALL-GREEN <\/strong>\u201cAre we going to have a season two? Are we going to finish this fucking story?\u201d (Laughs<\/em>.) Because the ball has certainly been placed on the tee. And we\u2019re gonna smack the shit out of it in this first episode of season two.<\/p>\n

\tKEBBEL<\/strong> We pick up immediately in season two where we left off, especially with the Weaver ranch and the looming circumstances there. I think people may be surprised to see just how bad it gets. I really appreciate that, because it\u2019s a nod to the Yellowstone<\/em> ongoing battle of land and wealth and power and money, and how far people will go to protect their land. It really speaks to that. We pick up in season two feeling the horse and ranch life.<\/p>\n

\tMARSHALL-GREEN<\/strong> It\u2019s complex in how [the Weaver betrayal] is unveiled with season two. The little I know, in the first episode I\u2019ve read, you\u2019re going to get a lot of consequences for all of these actions, but the agenda behind them in regards to all of them \u2014 being it Weaver or Dolly \u2014 is not going to be what you think, necessarily. And there will be, there will be consequences. \t<\/p>\n

\tThis Weaver betrayal opens you up to a land dispute for season two that Kayce isn\u2019t even aware of yet. Given that this is a Yellowstone<\/em> spinoff and the big expectations around this series, Marshals<\/em> of course could go on to become a long-running show. I know Spencer Hudnut hopes for that<\/a>. How does this ending open up Marshals<\/em> for more, and are you interested in doing this show for many years?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tMARSHALL-GREEN <\/strong>Yeah, I love employment! I love steady income, and I love more than anything this crew and this cast. I could easily see myself making this show for many years. Now \u2014 where is the story juiciest, now that we\u2019re dealing with a subject matter like cancer? I don\u2019t wanna sugarcoat it. I don\u2019t want kid gloves on. I don\u2019t want a safe approach. I want Cal to go through it, because I think that is the duty to these men and women who come back from uniform. <\/p>\n

\tAnd maybe there\u2019s a way, with the advancement of treatments, to have both worlds. But really, in the end, it\u2019s about what stories are left to tell. That\u2019s up to Spencer and the writers, and also Luke [Grimes]. Luke\u2019s been playing this role for a long time. But I think I can speak for everybody when I say that we love coming to work, and, boy, do we come to work. The first season was a grueling shoot.<\/p>\n

\tI understand you Logan had, like, an hour to sign on to the show?<\/strong> \t<\/p>\n

\tMARSHALL-GREEN<\/strong> Pretty much. I got the offer, and I knew the shoot was in 10 days. I also had not seen Yellowstone<\/em>. So I quickly watched the pilot and asked some questions. I knew kind of the direction Marshals<\/em> was going, and I decided to sign on and take the jump.<\/p>\n

\tHave you since watched Yellowstone<\/em> and indoctrinated yourself in the world, or is it nice to be a little bit outside of it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tMARSHALL-GREEN<\/strong> Nope. I haven\u2019t. And that\u2019s intentional, because Cal has just so many questions. The river has to roll for him, as it has already has for many. I also knew we were not shooting exactly a Yellowstone<\/em> show, so I didn\u2019t necessarily want a bar we were supposed to be getting over, storytelling-wise or aesthetic-wise. I just knew we needed to tell this story. It\u2019s not about next season. It\u2019s just about this scene or this sentence and this word, and making sure that we\u2019re trying to tell the best story possible with the highest stakes.<\/p>\n

\tArielle, what can you say about how this ending opens up the show, and, at this point in your career, what\u2019s the experience like being on a hit series that is part of a successful and beloved IP?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tKEBBEL<\/strong> I don\u2019t know where this season is going just yet. But what I can say is that whether it\u2019s the Weaver family or another family, the Duttons always find trouble. And I will say that there was a moment where I gasped reading the first episode of season two.<\/p>\n

\tI was very familiar with Yellowstone<\/em> coming into this. When it first came out, there was nothing like it on television. What Taylor Sheridan has done with Yellowstone<\/em> and TV with going back to nature, not just cowboy life, but what it means to be living and working on land, and how fierce mother nature can be \u2014 and how money and politics and power come into play when you have something that everyone wants \u2014 from Yellowstone<\/em> to Landman<\/em>, he captures the fierceness when you are up against these elements what these life and death experiences bring, and what it means to herd cattle and live and run businesses off of the land. People either weren\u2019t exploring this, or didn\u2019t know how to do it an authentic way. \t<\/p>\n

\tTruthfully, I\u2019m still understanding and processing what it even means to have a hit show! I\u2019ve been so fortunate to work consistently for over 20 years, but I\u2019m used to being head down and doing the work. What I keep going back to is that we are fortunate enough to be filming season two as we air this season one finale. I\u2019ve never been on a show that has gone back that fast and that continues to build momentum. That gratitude runs deep in my bones because I know how rare that is and how fortunate we are. I look around season two and I see so many familiar faces from season one with our crew. To know that all these people have jobs and we get to go deeper in season two and be in the grind together, that means something. <\/p>\n

\tWhen people are watching a show like Marshals<\/em>, I\u2019m not sure they\u2019re thinking about the art and sacrifice of it, but there is a lot of sacrifice that goes into it. So I\u2019m really grateful that we\u2019re building momentum and have an audience, and I\u2019m really grateful that we have so many crew coming back from season one to season two so we all get to go, \u201cWe\u2019re in this together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tLogan, Cal and Kayce (Grimes) both have their demons. In the finale, Cal understands the \u201ctrain station\u201d rumors about the Duttons are true, and Kayce finally understands the guilt Cal has been carrying. So he fixes his brotherhood, we also see him connecting with his estranged daughter and pursuing a possible romance with Belle. Aside from his cancer diagnosis, things were coming together for him. How will everything that\u2019s happened change Cal for season two?<\/strong> \t<\/p>\n

\tMARSHALL-GREEN<\/strong> I mean, everything was going great and then suddenly, they got a couple shotguns in their face. But that\u2019s good news. I don\u2019t ever want us to settle on any of these characters, certainly not Cal. I was really happy with carrying the load knowing that redemption was down the road, and I was very happy to see how he would get his redemption, and Kayce, too, and depressurizing their relationship. While there is a much stronger bond between these two brothers, who were once quite close in the SEALs, they\u2019re still carrying some pretty heavy secrets, both of them. From the little I know about the Duttons and Yellowstone<\/em>, those secrets usually come back to haunt you. So I hope that happens.<\/p>\n

\tOther Yellowstone<\/em> and Sheridan shows have had \u201ccowboy camp\u201d and more time for the cast to prep for this lifestyle. As the season went on, were you able to assimilate more into this lifestyle and did you get more prep time for season two?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tMARSHALL-GREEN<\/strong>\u00a0I bought a truck. (Laughs<\/em>.) You need one for Park City winters. I do have some horsemanship background, which I assume was part of my casting. We did a little bit of cowboy camp, not the old-school Taylor Sheridan cowboy camp, but we had marshals camp. Luke and I both had to learn how to become a fraction of these seals and that was actually the harder part. <\/p>\n

\t[For season two] we just finished a week\u2019s worth [of that training], which has been incredible. We had weapons training, and SEAL training and CQB [Close Quarters Battle] and all of that. We have a SEAL and a Green Beret running the show and we feel very, very supportive and taken care of. If there are any questions, they are answered very quickly. We went very hard leaning on Ryan Sangster last year, our SEAL military consultant. \t<\/p>\n

\tKEBBEL<\/strong> The horses, luckily, I have in the bag. The rifle work is an ongoing journey. There are days where I feel so empowered and it all clicks and comes together, and then there are days where I look around and get frustrated and I\u2019m struggling and pushing myself to rise to the occasion, and that\u2019s hard. Every day is every different on this show and it\u2019s definitely pushing me in ways that I haven\u2019t been pushed before.<\/p>\n

\tWhen I came to this job, I thought I had a lot more skills sets than I did! For the last 10 years, I have played characters on television who were extremely physical. But I had never done work with M4s and rifles. And when you\u2019re dealing with mountains and rocky terrain and rivers, and a high altitude in Park City, in real life, you\u2019re body is adjusting. I pride myself on being very strong, but there\u2019s also a point where you go, \u201cCrap, I don\u2019t know if I can keep up with you!\u201d I do it for all the women around me, but it also kicks my ass.<\/p>\n

\tThe finale had a long, intense shootout. Were you doing more of your stunts by the end of the season?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tMARSHALL-GREEN<\/strong> I fight for every stunt. I fight to keep my stunt double bored, just like they fight to keep me safe. I will always do that. When you\u2019re young and doing your stunts and just starting out, you always have some old timer being like, \u201cOh, kid, there\u2019ll be a day.\u201d And don\u2019t get me wrong. I understand why they said it, but that\u2019ll never be me. I want the shot and the frame to be as dynamic as it can be, and that means my face doing the damn stuff. \t<\/p>\n

\tKEBBEL<\/strong> With season one, we had like four days [to prep]. It was nuts. For season two in our training, you\u2019re learning how to load and unload weapons, walk and shoot and move as a team. So it\u2019s not only physical, but also training your brain. It was the type of training I\u2019ve never had before and I\u2019m really grateful for it because I really needed it. And I still need it. I\u2019m asking questions every day.<\/p>\n

\tNow heading into your season two shoot, what do you do when you\u2019re not working?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tKEBBEL<\/strong> I have a mustang and I do a lot of work with wild horses and wild horse rescue. My mustang was rescued a night before slaughter through Skydog Sanctuary. I\u2019ve had her for a few years. Season one, I moved her out here [to Montana] and she is the happiest mare on the planet. She\u2019s with a bunch of other rescues. There\u2019s a wonderful organization here called Saving Gracie, and I\u2019ve gotten really close with the founder, Barb Phillips. What\u2019s been so special about filming here is the horse community. I got to spend time with Buck Brannaman, who is the original horse whisperer on set with Robert Redford for the Horse Whisperer<\/em>, and his family. So when I\u2019m not working, I\u2019m throwing my time into being with my horse and doing rescue work and equine therapy and healing all around. I\u2019m doing holistic training and retraining myself, and I attribute that to my mustang. She has inspired me to start from ground zero and up again. That really excites my soul.<\/p>\n
