The story, neutrally told

Centre · 2Judd Lormand and Beau Knapp, both formerly of SEAL Team, are joining season 2 of the Yellowstone spin-off Marshals in recurring roles. Centre · 2TVLine reported the casting exclusively. It says the two begin appearing on Sunday 22 November on CBS, and Screen Rant says both appear in the 22 November episode. Centre · 1Lormand, who played Commander Eric Blackburn on all seven seasons of SEAL Team, will play Eddie, a Homeland Security Investigations officer visiting from New York to prepare for a high-profile trial.

Centre · 2His official character description calls Eddie grounded, a father and former athlete, not afraid to hop into the fray, who appreciates a straight answer and admires an operator with strong instincts and guts. Centre · 2Knapp, who joined SEAL Team in its final season as Officer Drew Franklin, will play Eric, the intense leader of a farming cult group suspected of running a large counterfeit alcohol operation. Centre · 2Eric is described as a master manipulator with a God complex, eerily calm in tense situations, and a sharp reader of vulnerable people.

Centre · 2The casting is also a behind-the-scenes reunion, because Marshals showrunner Spencer Hudnut was showrunner of SEAL Team for its final five seasons; Screen Rant calls him the show's creator. Centre · 1SEAL Team aired on CBS from 2018 to 2021, then moved to Paramount+ until it ended in 2024. Centre · 2Since then, Lormand has appeared in Tyler Perry's Duplicity and Cape Fear, while Knapp had a recurring role on FBI: International and was a series regular on Tulsa King. Screen Rant notes that Tulsa King season 3 was another Taylor Sheridan project for Knapp.

Centre · 1The series follows Kayce Dutton, who moves from the Yellowstone Ranch to an elite unit of U.S. Marshals in Montana.

Framing

Emphasis
Character descriptions, the SEAL Team connection through Spencer Hudnut, and the 22 November air date.
Leaves out or plays down
Neither outlet quotes the actors or the network on the casting. Neither reports plot developments beyond the character descriptions.
