Marshals is bringing a new cowgirl to East Camp in Season 2, with actress and country music singer Scarlett Burke joining the Yellowstone spinoff in a recurring role. TV Insider has shared an exclusive first look at her character, Shelby Gaines, who will soon begin working alongside Kayce Dutton.
Burke will make her debut in Season 2, Episode 8, airing Sunday, November 29, at 8/7c on CBS. Shelby is described as a Texas cowgirl with a feisty personality that hides deeper emotional wounds. After moving from Texas, she arrives at East Camp to help Kayce, played by Luke Grimes, launch a new equine therapy program.
The new photos offer a first glimpse of Burke as Shelby in the upcoming episode.
The episode will also bring plenty of action for the Marshals. After being assigned to track down an international fugitive, the team finds itself caught in the middle of a shootout connected to a diamond heist.
Meanwhile, Kayce and Cal, played by Logan Marshall-Green, are both dealing with the recent fallout involving their children. However, the two men take very different approaches to handling their personal struggles.
Belle, played by Arielle Kebbel, also faces a difficult situation as she moves forward with ending her marriage. What she expects to be a straightforward process turns out to be more complicated than she imagined.
Judd Lormand will return as Eddie Wilson, alongside Marque Richardson as Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Burns. Both actors make their Marshals debuts in Season 2, Episode 7, which is scheduled to air on November 22.
Before Burke’s introduction, Marshals will return on November 15 following a one-week break. The upcoming episode will be a special story centered on Mo, played by Mo Brings Plenty.
Burke has appeared in several television shows, including Ray Donovan, True Blood, Animal Kingdom, and Lethal Weapon. Her other screen credits include Taylor Sheridan’s The Madison and the feature film Magic Mike.
Outside of acting, Burke has also built a career as a country music songwriter. She has worked with several well-known artists, including Miranda Lambert, Jelly Roll, Elle King, Nile Rodgers, Shooter Jennings, and Liz Rose.
Her songwriting work has received nominations from the Production Music Association. In 2020, she also directed and executive produced Make It Up As We Go, a scripted podcast starring Billy Bob Thornton and Dennis Quaid, with Miranda Lambert involved in the project.
Marshals airs Sundays at 8/7c on CBS.
