Load your six-shooter and prepare for rough times ahead because Paramount+ is ready to share a new Lawmen: Bass Reeves teaser trailer ahead of the show’s November 5 premiere. The western series comes from Paramount+’s Golden Goose creator Taylor Sheridan as he executive produces alongside David Oyelowo, who stars in the show as the titular lawman, Bass Reeves. Lauren E. Banks, Demi Singleton, Forrest Goodluck, Barry Pepper, Donald Sutherland, and Emmy Award nominee Dennis Quaid also star. Taylor Sheridan created the show with the showrunner Chad Feehan.
In today’s Lawmen: Bass Reeves teaser trailer, Oyelowo’s Bass Reeves pledges his allegiance to uphold the law in a dangerous time and place. With criminals eager to overtake territory, keeping citizens fearful and subservient, Reeves dusts off his skills to help take out the trash. Can he handle the weight of the badge? Is he a force for good, or is power slowly turning him into the thing he’s sworn to extinguish?
The official synopsis from Paramount+ reads:
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 that will follow other iconic lawmen and outlaws who have impacted history.
The cast also includes Shea Whigham and Garrett Hedlund as guest stars, and, in recurring roles, Joaquina Kalukango, Lonnie Chavis, Grantham Coleman, Tosin Morohunfola, Dale Dickey, Rob Morgan, Ryan O’Nan, Margot Bingham, Mo Brings Plenty, Justin Hurtt-Dunkley and Bill Dawes.
In addition to Sheridan, Feehan, and Oyelowo, the series is also executive produced by David C. Glasser, Jessica Oyelowo, David Permut, Christina Alexandra Voros, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, and David Hutkin.
Lawmen: Bass Reeves is the latest addition to Sheridan’s growing slate on Paramount+, which includes 1923, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, and Special Ops: Lioness, as well as the upcoming series Land Man.
