Lawmen – Bass Reeves Trailer Is Out

Paramount plus drops the official trailer for Lawmen: Bass Reeves, the next new Taylor Sheridan gritty western series.

Bass Reeves is a former slave turned American law enforcement official; historically the first Black deputy U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi River. He was known as the greatest frontier hero in American history, who worked in the Post-Reconstruction era as a federal peace officer in the Indian Territory, capturing some of the most dangerous criminals without ever being wounded.

Despite arresting over 3,000 outlaws during the course of his career, the weight of the badge was heavy, and he wrestled with its moral and spiritual cost to his beloved family.

The series stars David Oyelowo, Dennis Quaid, Forrest Goodluck, Lauren. Banks, Barry Pepper, Grantham Coleman, Demi Singleton, Donald Sutherland, Shea Whigham, and Garrett Hedlund.

Lawmen: Bass Reeves is an anthology series with future iterations that will follow other iconic lawmen and outlaws who have impacted history.
