Stephen King‘s works have haunted readers for decades, but translating his unique blend of horror, suspense, fantasy, and deeply human characters to the small screen has always been one of the most challenging things to do. Some adaptations crash and burn, while others capture the feelings and messages of his novels almost to a T.

From faithful miniseries to ambitious ongoing dramas, the last few decades have produced a remarkable collection of King TV projects, proving his stories can thrive in the long-form format. Here are the 10 best Stephen King TV shows for all fans of his world-building magic, ranked by overall acclaim and how much King himself liked and approved of them.

‘Chapelwaite’ (2021)

Chapelwaite is a 2021 series starring Adrien Brody, and it was based on one of King’s most famous short stories, “Jerusalem’s Lot,” from his 1978 collection of stories, Night Shift. Set in the 1850s, Chapelwaite is a Gothic horror series following Captain Charles Boone (Brody), who moves his family to his ancestral home in the small Maine town of Preachers’ Corners after his wife’s death. There, he discovers the dark secrets lurking in his family’s bloodline and the malevolent forces tied to the Boone legacy. The show builds suspense slowly, avoiding cheap scares and letting the atmosphere do the heavy lifting.

While there’s not a noted reaction to the series from King, critics have praised the show, saying it avoids going over the top, playing out like a methodical whodunit, which is exactly what helps keep viewers hooked from start to finish. Brody’s performance is powerful as the family’s wounded patriarch; he carries the narrative with a brilliant emotional weight. Though drab and slow-burning in some respects, Chapelwaite still holds up well and makes for one of the better adaptations of King’s works.

‘The Shining’ (1997)

If you thought that King’s brilliant 1977 novel The Shining only had a film adaptation, you’re wrong—there’s also a miniseries from 1997, and it was written by King himself. In an attempt to ensure the fidelity to the story, King seized the opportunity to create his own version; this came after years of expressing public frustration with Stanley Kubrick‘s film adaptation. It’s great to know that King has finally found a version of The Shining that he is happy about, and many fans who truly love the book agree with his version.

The Shining stars Steven Weber as Jack Torrance, a recovering alcoholic and aspiring writer who takes a winter caretaker job at the isolated Overlook Hotel with his wife Wendy (Rebecca De Mornay) and psychic son Danny (Courtland Mead). As winter closes in and the hotel’s evil influence grows, Jack descends into madness. Unlike Kubrick’s version, the series reinstates the novel’s themes of supernatural possession and the evil nature of the hotel. While it lacks Kubrick’s visual mastery, The Shining delivers a story with well-developed characters, completing the novel experience.

8

‘The Dead Zone’ (2002–2007)

The Dead Zone is a novel from 1979, and it was first adapted into a feature film by David Cronenberg in 1983, starring Christopher Walken. While this is one of the best adaptations of King’s works in movie format, the 2002 TV series of the same name is pretty decent, too. Fans liked the show’s mix of the “case of the week” trope and bigger story arcs, saying it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys their mystery sprinkled with some nice character development.

The Dead Zone has six seasons, following Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall), a small-town teacher who falls into a coma after an accident and awakens six years later, only to discover he has psychic abilities; his abilities are triggered when he touches someone, revealing their past or future to him. The show takes the overarching mythology of the novel and blends it with a whodunit nature, following Johnny’s attempts to stop a rising politician from triggering nuclear war. The Dead Zone shows that King’s work is easily adaptable into a long-running series; despite an abrupt ending, it holds up as one of the most successful long-form adaptations, honoring the source well.

7

‘Salem’s Lot’ (1979)

Image via CBS

Salem’s Lot was based on the book of the same name from 1975, and it’s a unique series because it was directed by the ’70s king of horror, Tobe Hooper. His two-part miniseries translates King’s vampire novel to television beautifully, with King himself having praised this adaptation for its faithfulness and atmosphere. Even decades later, viewers recognize the show’s immense quality, proving flashy visuals aren’t always the best way to evoke genuine fear; atmosphere is the biggest part of Salem’s Lot‘s success. This, together with great characters and a steady pace, makes Salem’s Lot an adaptation worth raving about.

Salem’s Lot follows writer Ben Mears (David Soul), who returns to the small Maine town of Jerusalem’s Lot, his hometown, seeking inspiration. While there, he discovers that a mysterious antique dealer has brought an ancient evil with him; as townspeople begin vanishing or turning up dead, Ben realizes he’s facing a vampire epidemic. Salem’s Lot is, on its own, an inspirational story for many horror fans, but the ’79 show also inspired a generation of filmmakers.

6

‘Mr. Mercedes’ (2017–2019)

Image via Audience

Mr. Mercedes is a three-season series based on the Bill Hodges novel trilogy: Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, and End of Watch. Hodges is a retired detective, and Mr. Mercedes is a rare detective story by King; it’s also related to The Outsider, which is frequently cited as the best King TV show. King has spoken positively about the adaptation, and though the trilogy represents his first foray into pure detective fiction, he brings his characteristic psychological depth to the genre. It’s one of the best and highest-quality adaptations of King’s work, though it flew under the radar big-time, mostly because of its network.

Mr. Mercedes follows retired detective Bill Hodges (Brendan Gleeson), who is haunted by an unsolved case of a killer who drove a stolen Mercedes into a crowd of job fair applicants, killing about a dozen people. When Brady Hartsfield (Harry Treadaway) begins taunting Hodges with emails, he launches an unofficial investigation, getting drawn into a cat-and-mouse game with a psychopath hiding in plain sight. Treadaway plays Brady in a frightening, chilling way, while Gleeson brings immense depth and likability to Hodges.

5

‘Castle Rock’ (2018–2019)

Image via Hulu

Castle Rock is an original story that draws from the entire Stephen King universe, blending together some of the most iconic characters in the most iconic town from his novels. Hulu’s ambitious anthology series creates an entirely new story set within the interconnected world of King’s works, and executive producer JJ Abrams worked closely with King to create an authentic extension of his universe. The project was welcomed with critical acclaim and audience acclaim, with everyone embracing this ambitious concept, consistently giving it high praise. It’s one of the best adaptations that takes creative liberties and succeeds in honoring where it comes from.

Castle Rock is set in the infamous Maine town of Castle Rock, a setting featured in numerous King stories. The story follows Henry Deaver (André Holland), a death row attorney who returns to his hometown when Shawshank Prison discovers a mysterious young man (Bill Skarsgård) held in a forgotten underground cell. The series weaves together references, locations, and characters from across King’s bibliography: Shawshank Prison looms large, characters mention events from novels like Cujo and The Body, and we meet Jackie Torrance (Jane Levy), the niece of Jack Torrance from The Shining.

‘11.22.63’ (2016)

11.22.63 was based on the novel of the same name from 2011, which reportedly involved the most research King has ever undertaken for a book, with every period detail meticulously translated. He’s also satisfied with the TV adaptation, which is remarkably faithful to his vision. Critics praise the show’s world-building, suspense, and emotional depth. 11.22.63‘s arrival on Netflix propelled it to the streamer’s Top 10 chart, introducing a new generation to this masterpiece adaptation.

11.22.63 follows Jake Epping (James Franco), a recently divorced English teacher from Lisbon Falls, Maine, whose dying friend Al Templeton (Chris Cooper) reveals a shocking secret: the diner’s storage closet is a portal to 1960. Al begs Jake to travel back and prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy—a task he believes could create a better world; Jake agrees but soon discovers the past doesn’t want to be changed so easily. As he establishes a new identity in Texas and falls deeply in love with librarian Sadie Dunhill (Sarah Gadon), he must balance his historical mission with the human connections that make the past feel like home.

‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ (2025–Present)

Image via HBO

HBO’s ambitious prequel series, Welcome to Derry, shifts focus from the Losers’ Club—the protagonists of King’s most famous novel, It—to the cursed town itself. Set in the winter of 1962, 27 years before the events of the film It Chapter One, the show explores the societal rot that allows Pennywise to thrive. We’re in the middle of the Cold War, and racial tensions are through the roof, creating the perfect feeding ground for an entity that feeds on paranoia and division. The pilot episode makes a bold statement by killing off most of its young cast and including a gruesome sequence involving a mutant baby’s birth. The show is additionally filled with Easter eggs that refer to King’s vast universe.

With fears that Welcome to Derry would be a redundant prequel in the shadow of the iconic Losers’ Club, expectations seemed both high and low. Yet, audiences and critics loved Welcome to Derry, which grew better in quality and lore from episode to episode. The timed appearance of Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise cemented the iconic status of this future classic, making it one of the most exciting and beautiful stories that honor the Stephen King universe and his biggest story of a killer clown, adolescent friendships, and good versus evil.

2

‘The Stand’ (1994)

Image via ABC

The 1978 novel The Stand is one of King’s most ambitious works, boasting incredibly detailed and vast world-building. It seemed too hard to adapt for the small screens, but even before prestige television existed, ABC took a massive swing at adapting King’s apocalyptic magnum opus; King personally wrote the teleplay, ensuring unusual faithfulness to his vision, and even did a small part as a truck driver himself. And while the production values feel outdated now, The Stand is still one of the most acclaimed and appreciated adaptations of King’s works, boasting a massive and super-talented cast and a timely story.

The Stand is a four-part miniseries that follows the survivors of a superflu that wipes out 99% of humanity as they’re drawn into a final battle between good and evil in Boulder and Las Vegas. While the series follows an ensemble, there are the quietly heroic Stu Redman (Gary Sinise), the childlike Tom Cullen (Bill Fagerbakke), and the arsonist Trashcan Man (Matt Frewer), standing out as important characters relevant to the plot. The Stand also introduces one of the most iconic villains of King’s universe—Randall Flagg, who is the human embodiment of the devil. Flagg is mentioned, most notably, in The Dark Tower series, too.

‘The Outsider’ (2020)

Image via HBO

The Outsider is from 2018 and counts as one of King’s newer works; that’s why not many people would be familiar with it. King himself showed praise and love for the adaptation, even taking part in a potential Season 2, which was planned and ready to go before HBO inexplicably decided it wouldn’t be happening. Screenwriter Richard Price took liberties in adapting the source material, which King was obviously OK with; he thought of changing the role and name of Holly Gibney, but King didn’t allow it, showing that Holly is a vital character in his universe and even important to him. She is, truly, one of the best characters in King’s vast world.

The Outsider begins as a gritty police procedural: in Cherokee City, Georgia, Detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn) arrests beloved teacher Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman) for the brutal murder of 11-year-old Frankie Peterson. The evidence is overwhelming, but Terry has an ironclad alibi: he was at a teaching conference in another city. This impossible contradiction forces Ralph, still grieving his own son’s death, to enlist the help of unorthodox private investigator Holly Gibney (Cynthia Erivo) to explain the unexplainable. Erivo elevates the show with her performance, posing as both the heart and mind of the series; everyone around her is just as brilliant, and The Outsider is a crime series with immense love for the supernatural and fantastical.

Everyone loves dinosaurs. Everyone loves Jeff Goldblum. Everyone loves dinosaurs with Jeff Goldblum. It should be a simple formula, and yet 2021’s Jurassic World: Dominion managed to fumble the return of Jurassic Park’s trio with a ludicrous plot, dull set pieces, and managed to avoid addressing the ending of Fallen Kingdom. The cool ending with the dinosaurs starting to repopulate around the world? The one that had you pumped for the next Jurassic World movie? Replaced with a story about genetically modified locusts that’s so exciting I fell asleep in the theater the first time I watched it. 

Rise Of The Mutant Locusts

Other films have almost put me to sleep, including, ironically, Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland and the Ryan Reynolds/Denzel Washington film Safe House, but none have knocked me out like Jurassic World: Dominion. I made it to Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Ellie Satler (Laura Dern), and Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) running around a biotech facility and then woke up to the credits. The plot has none of the tension of the first four films, the dinosaurs feel like a minor nuisance, and the two generations of Jurassic characters are kept separated for 90 percent of the film. It takes one hour and 45 minutes for Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Alan Grant to finally meet. 

After Jurassic World turned the theme park of the original into a reality, and Fallen Kingdom became a haunted house horror for its third act, Dominion’s reliance on a Biosyn facility for the final act was a huge step back. Owen and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard), sneaking into a black market auction for dinosaurs, would be fun, except again, that was seen in the previous movie. There’s nothing here that the same stars, same director (Colin Trevorrow), and same writer (also Colin Trevorrow) hadn’t done before, but better. 

Dinosaurs Are Awesome

I did enjoy Jurassic World: Dominion significantly more the second time around on Netflix. Part of that is my expectations were tempered, and the other is that my cat (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)  never lets me fall asleep on the couch. The streaming experience allowed me to appreciate the old guard slipping into their roles like a well-used pair of pants, and Isabella Sermon, who plays the genetically altered Maisie, more than holds her own alongside the cadre of established stars. 

Though Jurassic World: Dominion was filmed during the COVID pandemic, and it has the hallmarks of those productions, namely the complete lack of extras during the third act, the actual story, the weakest part of the film, was solidified long before the pandemic hit. Trevorrow’s original vision, available on the Blu-Ray as an extended cut, includes more dinosaurs and more backstory. That cut isn’t available on Netflix, which is a shame, as the one thing the dinosaur movie needed was more dinosaurs. 

Jurassic World: Dominion is the weakest of the franchise, and yet it still earned a billion dollars a the box office. When the worst film of a series sets records and is still a decent film, if you go in with the right expectations, that says something about the overall quality of Jurassic Park. Or it could just be that dinosaurs are awesome. Jurassic World: Dominion, and the rest of the Jurassic World series, including Jurassic World: Rebirth, are now available to stream on Netflix.

Jason Hughes, a Georgia high school teacher died after what was supposed to be a harmless prank went horribly wrong. This all comes just days after his school district warned students about past pranks that “have gone too far.”

Toilet Paper War Ends In Heartbreak

Jason Hughes, 40, was allegedly targeted during what students call the annual “Junior/Senior Wars.” According to reports, the tradition involves teams of students pulling pranks on each other—and sometimes targeting teachers. On Friday, March 6, five students, including 18-year-old Jayden Ryan Wallace, covered Jason Hughes’ trees with toilet paper. When Hughes came outside to confront the pranksters, he reportedly tripped and fell into the road, where Wallace’s pickup truck allegedly ran him over. The teen and others at the scene attempted to provide aid until emergency responders arrived. However, Hughes later died at the hospital.

Pranksters Hit With Criminal Charges

Furthermore, Jayden Ryan Wallace was arrested at the scene and currently faces multiple charges, including first-degree vehicular homicide and reckless driving. The four other teens involved—Elijah Tate Owens, Aiden Hucks, Ana Katherine Luque, and Ariana Cruz, all 18—were also charged with criminal trespassing and littering on private property. According to reports, all are residents of Gainesville, as was Hughes.

The prank itself had been documented on social media in previous years, with students posting photos and updates as part of the so-called “Junior/Senior Wars” point system. Teachers homes reportedly carried extra points, making Hughes’ house a prime target, especially since both he and his spouse were educators at North Hall High School. A GoFundMe reportedly set up by Hughes’ loved ones has since been launched to support Hughes’ two young sons.

School Warned Students Days Before Tragedy

Just days before the incident, the Hall County School District had warned students to end the “Junior/Senior Wars” tradition, citing previous pranks that had caused property damage. Officials also stressed that destructive behavior could lead to criminal charges and impact graduation and other senior-year events.

“Our hearts are broken,” the district’s statement reveals. “Jason Hughes was a loving husband, a devoted father, a passionate teacher, mentor, and coach who was loved and respected by students and colleagues. He gave so much to so many in numerous ways. Our hearts and prayers go out to his wife and family. We ask that the media and the public respect their privacy as they grieve this incredible loss.”

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Marshals Episode 2.After Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) returned to television with last week’s series premiere of Marshals, fans everywhere — whether you started with Yellowstone or are new to the Taylor Sheridan-made universe — have been anxious to see where the series goes next. “Zone of Death” is an engaging follow-up that sheds light on the secrets that the Dutton family has been keeping since long before the Yellowstone days. Now, Kayce and his team of U.S. Marshals nearly stumble upon all the skeletons left in that closet.

“Zone of Death” Begins With Kayce’s First Official Day on the Job

The second episode opens with a heartfelt compilation of time spent between Kayce and his son, Tate (Brecken Merrill), as these two finally build the father-son relationship that they always should have had. After riding into the mountains, catching some fish, and camping together, Tate asks his father if he’s prepared to officially join the U.S. Marshals. Kayce doesn’t seem worried, but he’s (rightly) concerned about how Tate feels about it. “A new start would do us both good,” his son replies. As for who is going to run East Camp while Kayce is busy? Turns out, his brother-in-law Rip (Cole Hauser, who does not appear here) has set up some hands worthy of the job. Meanwhile, at the Bullet ‘n Barrel Saloon, Pete “Cal” Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green) shares some old war stories with his fellow Marshals, Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means) and Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos), though neither is too impressed. Cruz is worried that Cal’s friendship with Kayce will get in the way of the team, but they all end up drinking to a “new team, new dynamic” instead.

The next day, Kayce arrives at Marshals HQ for target practice, which he (of course) excels at. Afterward, Cal re-introduces him to the rest of the team, including Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel) — still sporting her combat injury from last week — only to leave Kayce alone with the rest of the group. Unfortunately, Cal has the displeasure of addressing Marshal Harry Gifford’s (Brett Cullen) concerns about Kayce’s employment. “A Dutton wearing a Marshal star, it just doesn’t sit right,” Gifford claims, but Cal won’t have any of it. He notes that Kayce is more qualified than most, adding that bringing the former SEAL onto the team turns them into an “elite unit.” But Gifford doesn’t agree. In fact, he doubles down on his opinion by reminding Cal that Kayce is directly connected to the two coldest cases in the state: the death of Governor John Dutton (Kevin Costner) and the disappearance of DA Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley). Cal chalks it up to being a “coincidence” as Gifford storms out.

But the “easy first day” is soon interrupted when Cal gets word that fugitive Raul Garza of the 406 Royals is holding up in a trailer park in Belgrade. It isn’t long before the team arrives at the trailer park — an apparent breeding ground for meth dealers — and the team splits up. Cal leads Belle and Cruz to the front entrance while Kayce and Miles take the back. Breaking in, a fight ensues as Belle and Cruz get hold of the fugitive in question. Still, Kayce’s head remains on a swivel as he sees a suspicious character in a Chevy pickup across the street, revving his engine. Cal orders him to back down, reminding him that they’re “in Montana, not a war zone.” Back at HQ, the team debriefs as Belle reveals that Garza’s accomplice, Lenny Nelson, is a member of the Aryan Brethren of Idaho, connecting white nationalists with a Latin gang. But Kayce doesn’t have time to deal with that right now, because he gets a call that something is going on at East Camp — and Cal decides to join him.

‘Marshals’ Opens the Door to Questions About the Duttons’ Complicated Family History

Image via CBS

Back at East Camp, Kayce and Cal come upon a stallion that has broken through a fence. “That’s not a horse,” Cal jokes. “That’s anger with legs.” But if you thought that Marshals would get all Yellowstone on us and pivot to the ranching life, you’d be mistaken. After Kayce performs a cowboy miracle (which doesn’t last long), the pair return to Marshals HQ, where Cruz reveals that there’s a fentanyl deal going down that afternoon between the Aryans and the Royals at a spot just over the Wyoming border called the “Zone of Death.” This is a place with no citizens or law enforcement, no judges or juries, and no real legal way to prosecute criminal activity. Sounds like the perfect place for a drug deal — or to hide a series of bodies. Yellowstone fans will recognize this “Zone of Death” as the “Train Station” that the Duttons once tossed their bodies into — and the whole thing puts Kayce immediately on edge. Despite Gifford’s prying, he claims it’s the first time he’s ever heard of it.

As the team prepares for war, Belle’s husband and son show up for a quick visit, proving that a balance can be struck between the Marshals and family. It’s a balance that Cal actively admires, though he encourages her to avoid building walls with her husband, noting that things may have been different with his own family had he been more open and available. In the other vehicle, Cruz questions whether Kayce really knows what became of his brother Jamie (who, as Yellowstone fans know, is likely at the bottom of the Train Station himself). It’s here that she reveals that, when her father was killed, there was no question about how it happened, and she had closure. “Family history like yours, I’m sure it’s hard to turn the page,” she tells him. Upon arriving at the deal site, the Marshals plan their op and get in position. It isn’t long before the Royals and the Aryans arrive, and Belle gets in position to place their tracker on the Royals’ vehicle. Since their goal is only to arrest the Aryans, they plan to capture the Royals at a later date to stop them from distributing on Broken Rock.

Things get hairy when Belle finds herself trapped beneath one of the trucks. Miles moves forward to cover her but is suddenly stopped by a rattlesnake, which threatens to give away his position. Kayce decides to get involved and goes to keep Miles safe. However, from their vantage point at the top of the hill, Cal and Cruz see that the drugs are being exchanged with the Aryans for a homemade bomb. “They’re not planning an attack, they’re about to execute one,” Cruz exclaims. It’s then that Kayce shoots the Royal on Miles’ tail, and a firefight erupts. Kayce covers Miles as the Aryans — and their new bomb — get away, leaving the Royals in combat against the Marshals. Although Miles denied being affected by his first kill earlier in the episode, Kayce has seen through him this entire time. In the heat of battle, he encourages his teammate to lock in and be there for Belle now. As Kayce goes after the bomb, Miles steps up alongside Cal and Cruz to cover Belle, taking out the Royals from afar.

With Episode 2, ‘Marshals’ Is Closer To Finding Its Own Voice

Riding on horseback, Kayce goes after the bomb. After firing on the SUV from afar, he’s able to run it off the road by igniting the bomb, thus disarming the Aryan terrorist as well. But when the man calls for mercy, hoping to appeal to the Duttons’ good graces, Kayce executes the man without a second thought. “You’re already dead,” Kayce tells him. “Even if you were worth saving, there’s no help here.” True to his family name and the “Y” brand he’ll forever wear on his chest, Kayce tosses the body down the Train Station, err, Zone of Death, and leaves it behind. Back at HQ, the team rejoices that the fentanyl didn’t make it back to Bozeman and the bomb didn’t hit Idaho’s federal courthouse. Turns out, the Idaho State Police are on the case of rounding up the rest of the Aryan offenders. But when Cal asks about the fifth man whom Kayce was tracking down, all he responds with is “Zone of Death, I guess.” After “baptizing” Kayce with a NA beer, the group disbands for the night. However, Gifford quietly corners Cal and Cruz about Kayce, believing that he’s trying to keep the law off the scent of his fugitive (and missing) brother, who, as we all know, is actually dead.

In the locker room, Miles admits to Kayce that the man he killed is still in his head, though he didn’t freeze with the snake because he was afraid. According to his people, killing a rattler is a bad omen. Still, Kayce reminds him that he needs to be more dangerous than the snake — and if he can’t do that, maybe this job isn’t for him after all. When Miles leaves, Cal asks Kayce about his behavior on the op. While he could always count on Kayce to have his back in the teams, things were different this time around — and everybody knew it. It’s obvious that Kayce is trying to keep his family’s skeletons in the closet, but as Cal notes, “It’s kind of hard to operate when you’ve got ghosts hanging over you.” Even more interesting is that, while on the battlefield, Kayce used a name, “Roner,” when convincing Cal that his plan was the better one. Cal believes that it was a cheap shot that Kayce took to get into his head, but the Dutton heir maintains that it was actually a targeted approach to keep history from repeating itself. Hopefully, that’s something Marshals can dive deeper into.

As “Zone of Death” winds down, Cal and Cruz listen to country singer Ashley Cooke perform “Next to You” at the Bullet ‘n Barrel Saloon as they discuss Kayce’s behavior in the field. Cruz believes that the credit for the op should’ve been given to her because of her intel rather than Kayce, but their conversation is cut short by a handsome cowboy (played by Tyler Courtad) who, after being rejected by Cruz previously, sends her an apology drink. As sparks fly between them, Belle joins Cal for a drink after a hard day, not wanting to carry the weight home with her. As the episode ends, Kayce returns home to Tate, admitting that the landmines left behind by the Yellowstone have thrown him for a loop. While Tate hasn’t found his new beginning quite yet, he did see his maternal grandfather, who hopes to honor Monica (Kelsey Asbille) at a ceremony next month. When Tate asks Kayce about his mother’s favorite necklace, which he hopes to use in the ceremony, his father shrugs it off. But as he steps outside on the porch, he reveals that he’s been carrying it with him all along.

Marshals airs Sundays on CBS and is available for streaming the next day on Paramount+.

Pros & Cons

• Kayce lends well to the new Marshals format
• Adding some SEAL backstory into the episode strengthens the dynamic between Kayce and Cal
• Marshals does well to lean into the regional issues of the American Northwest

• Will Marshals always live in Yellowstone’s shadow?
• No actual ramifications for the Train Station? Hopefully this will be revisited later on.

If it’s me vs. everybody right now, then so be it.” She also shared a preview of visuals from an upcoming song she recorded with London On Da Track, hinting that work — not vacation — is the real reason behind the trip.

Folks Speculate About Summyah & London On Da Track

The speculation started after fans online claimed the 19-year-old content creator was vacationing in the Dominican Republic with the 34-year-old producer following their recent collaboration. Some social media users alleged that London On Da Track helped craft her song and even paid for the visuals, which quickly fueled rumors that the two were spending time together outside of the studio. While the internet continues to debate, Summyah seems focused on promoting her music and shutting down the narrative that the trip was anything other than business.
