Paramount+ has unveiled the full trailer for its high-profile western series “Lawmen: Bass Reeves” which hails from “Yellowstone,” “1923,” “Tulsa King” and “Special Ops: Lioness” producer Taylor Sheridan.
David Oyelowo stars in the eight-episode series based on the life of Bass Reeves, the legendary African-American lawman of the Wild West who worked in the post-Reconstruction era as a federal peace officer in the Indian Territory.
Policing the entire Oklahoma territory, he captured over 3,000 of the most dangerous criminals without ever being wounded. In a job with a high mortality rate, Reeves survived into old age and remains one of the greatest frontier heroes in American history.
Dennis Quaid, Donald Sutherland, Garrett Hedlund, Shea Whigham, Barry Pepper, Dale Dickey, Lauren E. Banks, Forrest Goodluck, Grantham Coleman and Demi Singleton co-star.
Created by showrunner Chad Feehan, the series will premiere on the Paramount+ on November 5th.
Feehan, Oyelowo, Sheridan, David C. Glasser, Jessica Oyelowo, David Permut, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari and David Hutkin all executive produce.
