Watch Frontier Hero Bass Reeves Bring Justice To The Wild West In This New Original Paramount+ Series

While Bass Reeves was one of the first Black U.S. Deputy Marshals, his story remained largely untold…until now.

“Lawmen: Bass Reeves” ― from executive producers Taylor Sheridan of “Yellowstone” fame, David Oyelowo, and creator Chad Feehan — follows the journey of the titular legend as he rises out of enslavement and into law enforcement in the Old West. While Reeves arrested over 3,000 dangerous outlaws during his career, the weight of his badge was heavy, forcing him to wrestle with the moral and spiritual cost to his beloved family.

You’ll want to saddle up for this new adventure if you love a series that features:

Reeves’ epic journey is rooted in survival and hope. Though he came from traumatic beginnings, he continued to strive to be a good and fair human being. In the face of adversity, he remained level-headed, connected with people from all walks of life, and fought for justice and equality.

While Reeves was passionate about bringing criminals to justice, he was first and foremost a family man. No matter how dangerous the mission or how treacherous the roads, he always found a way back home to his strong wife Jennie and their children.

The new series features an all-star cast, including David Oyelowo as Bass Reeves himself. Lauren E. Banks, Demi Singleton, Forrest Goodluck, Barry Pepper, Grantham Coleman, Donald Sutherland, and Dennis Quaid have supporting roles, and Shea Wigham guest-stars.

Viewers will be transported back to the lawless land of the post-Civil War era, which serves as the ultimate backdrop for the frontier hero as he attempts to bring justice to the unruly and unforgiving frontier through riveting high-stakes pursuits.
