Taylor Sheridan is the creator of the upcoming Western drama series “Lawmen: Bass Reeves,” set in the “Yellowstone Universe.” The program is a sequel to 1883 and a precursor to Yellowstone in 1923. Bass Reeves is the primary character and the first black deputy marshal in the United States.
As Bass Reeves, a federal peace officer in Fort Smith, Arkansas, captures over 3,000 violent criminals, David Oyelowo plays the lead role. Dennis Quaid portrays Deputy U.S. Marshal Sherrill Lynn, and Forrest Goodluck plays Billy Crow, a young Cherokee man who enjoys reading dime store books.
We’ve decided to give you a projected release schedule for the entire season of ‘Lawmen: Bass Reeves,’ as the show’s launch date was recently revealed. Much more of the actual content of the show is revealed in this trailer. It features Oyelowo’s performance of Bass Reeves, who rides the line (as he states in the trailer) between lawman and outlaw, obviously with a hint of anti-heroic flair.
It also makes it obvious that Donald Sutherland’s character will give him a position of authority and allow him to take on many forms of evil, such as nasty bandits and white supremacists. The original name of the show, 1883: The Bass Reeves Story, was 1883. A limited series starring Bass Reeves was announced for 2021.
Later on, it was revealed that although Bass Reeves and 1883 take place at about the same time, the two shows’ plots would be distinct and take place in different universes, proving that Bass Reeves is not a spinoff of 1883.

Plot Of The Show
Reeves was born into slavery in Crawford County, Arkansas, in July 1838, just before the Civil War. Although Reeves’ exact year is unknown, it is generally agreed that the young Bass Reeves relocated to Grayson County, Texas, when he was about eight years old, following the decision of his owner’s son, George Reeves, to relocate.
From this point on, Reeves gained a reputation for being honest and diligent, two qualities that are crucial for any law enforcement official to have. Reeves could not, however, seriously consider a career in law or law enforcement due to his status as a slave.
Bass was compelled to join the Confederates in arms as a result of Texas joining the Confederacy and George supporting the Confederacy during the American Civil War; this was something that Reeves continuously battled.
A disagreement between Bass and Reeves, possibly over a card game, occurred at some point during the Civil War and resulted in a physical brawl between the two men. Reeves, who was 6′ 2″ and had been working on several plantations, is said to have defeated George in a fistfight before escaping to Oklahoma.
