Paramount+ revealed more about the new series in a press release.
Paramount+ debuted first-look imagery and a tease for the highly anticipated original series LAWMEN: BASS REEVES. Premiering this fall in the U.S. and all Paramount+ international markets, the anthology series stars executive producer and Emmy Award nominee David Oyelowo, Lauren E. Banks, Demi Singleton, Forrest Goodluck, Barry Pepper, Honorary Oscar recipient Donald Sutherland and Emmy Award nominee Dennis Quaid. Executive produced by Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan and created for television by executive producer and showrunner Chad Feehan, the eight-episode season is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios, Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions and Oyelowo’s Yoruba Saxon exclusively for Paramount+.
LAWMEN: BASS REEVES will bring the legendary lawman and outlaws of the Wild West to life.

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.

What do you think? Are you excited to see this new series from Taylor Sheridan on Paramount+?
If it’s anywhere near as good as 1883, it should be a constant.
1923 wasn’t much cop. Yellowstone won’t be the same without Kevin in it.
Lioness, four episodes in and it’s gone flat.
It peaked in Episode One and is just been drab since.
Mayor of Kingstown. It was similar to Prison Break without the legs.
Tulsa King however is very good.
How does Taylor stay focused on so many scripts?
I am autistic and can juggle, chop-and-change between hundreds of subjects simultaneously in a high sense.
All the best to Lawmen: Bass Reeves.
Look forward to another series Yellowstone spin-off prequel love this character family look interesting.
