Chilling Trailer Drops For Taylor Sheridan's New Western 'Lawmen: Bass Reeves'
Taylor Sheridan, once again, appears to have struck gold with "Lawmen: Bass Reeves."
The plot of the highly-anticipated series is described as follows:
Revealing the untold story of the most legendary lawman in the Old West, LAWMEN: BASS REEVES follows the journey of Reeves (Oyelowo) and his rise from enslavement to law enforcement as the first Black U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi. 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. LAWMEN: BASS REEVES is an all-new, standalone anthology series and future iterations will follow other iconic lawmen and outlaws who have impacted history.
