Lawmen: Bass Reeves will bring the legendary lawman and outlaws of the Wild West to life. Reeves (Oyelowo), known as the greatest frontier hero in American history, worked in the post-Reconstruction era as a federal peace officer in the Indian Territory capturing over 3,000 of the most dangerous criminals without ever being wounded. Lawmen: Bass Reeves is an anthology series with future iterations to follow other iconic lawmen and outlaws who have impacted history.

  1. This show could have been inspired by LaMonica Garrett’s ‘Thomas’ character in 1883, Thomas’s life would have made an interesting mini series, including his early history in the U.S. military, still this new Sheridan ‘Western’ looks interesting enough. Taylor Sheridan is providing leadership with his original creative concepts, he is like a shining light at the moment, especially for male viewers.
