‘Marshals’ Season 2 Episode 5 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview: The Hunt for a Second Bomb

The next episode of ‘Marshals’ lands on CBS on Sunday, November 1, at 8/7c, under the title ‘Secret Weapon’. It follows ‘Blast Radius’, which aired a week earlier and kept the series focused on a dangerous bomber who has haunted the team.

Anyone planning to watch the new ‘Marshals’ episode live will want to know how the schedule has behaved this season. Start times have moved around, and the details on streaming access and story direction are worth laying out before Sunday arrives.

Release Date and Time for the New ‘Marshals’ Episode

Paramount’s press site lists the episode with an airdate of November 1 at 8 pm. That matches the broadcast listing that places ‘Secret Weapon’ at 8/7c on CBS.

The time slot has not been steady. The second season premiered at half past eight on October 4, then returned to its usual 8/7c time for the next episode. Episode three then moved back to half past eight, which shows how much the network has adjusted the show around its lineup.

At least one episode guide lists a half past eight to half past nine window for this episode, so viewers should check local listings before tuning in. The season has also grown, with the episode count expanded from thirteen to twenty and released in two halves. Episodes are scheduled for November 8, November 15 and November 22 after this one.

Where to Watch ‘Marshals’ Live and Online

The show follows a simple pattern for most viewers in the United States. ‘Marshals’ airs on Sundays on CBS and streams on Paramount+ the next day, so anyone who misses the broadcast can catch up on Monday.

Paramount’s own guide explains that the series can be watched live through a local CBS station, or streamed live on Paramount+ as it airs on CBS with the Premium plan. That gives cord cutters a direct route to the live broadcast.

Viewers abroad have their own timeline. The second season reached Paramount+ in the UK and Canada on October 5, one day after the American premiere. Reelgood also notes that new viewers can try Paramount+ through a free trial.

Preview and Synopsis for ‘Secret Weapon’

CBS describes the story this way. After a close call with a suicide bomber, the Marshals hunt for a second suspect armed with an even larger explosive. The stakes are clearly higher than a routine fugitive chase.

The official description also points to a human obstacle. The trail leads to a suspect’s family whose deep distrust of the government makes getting answers nearly impossible. That suggests an hour built around persuasion and patience as much as tactical pursuit.

Mark Semos and Anthony Florez wrote the episode, and Loren Yaconelli directed it. Publicity imagery shows Arielle Kebbel as Belle Skinner, Ash Santos as Andrea Cruz, Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, Logan Marshall-Green as Pete Calvin and Tatanka Means as Miles Kittle together, which points to a full team effort.

Where the Second Season Stands Heading Into the Next Episode

The thread begins in the previous hour. Kayce and Andrea’s off duty fugitive hunt revealed the whereabouts of a notorious bomber who had slipped through Cal’s fingers. ‘Secret Weapon’ appears to carry that danger forward into a wider conspiracy.

The audience has followed the show closely. According to CBS, 8.206 million viewers tuned in for the second season premiere, and the series premiere in March drew more than twenty million multiplatform viewers. CinemaBlend notes that ‘Marshals’ was the fifth most watched show across all of television for the 2025 to 2026 season.

The next episode after this one shifts the focus. With Cal away in Utah seeing a cancer specialist, Andrea steps up as team leader and is tested when Kayce ventures outside Marshals jurisdiction to help Mo track his missing nephew. The show was renewed for its second season on March 12 and has not yet been renewed for a third, so every episode now carries added weight. Do you think the Marshals can break through a family that distrusts the government this deeply, or will Kayce’s instinct to go it alone once again decide how the bomber hunt ends?
