What’s This TV Show About?
A historical drama series streaming on the Paramount+ subscription service, the Lawmen TV show was created by Taylor Sheridan. This standalone anthology series revolves around iconic lawmen and outlaws who have impacted history. The first season stars David Oyelowo, Lauren E. Banks, Demi Singleton, Forrest Goodluck, Barry Pepper, Donald Sutherland, and Dennis Quaid. Shea Whigham and Garrett Hedlund guest star, while 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, have recurring roles. The episodes tell the untold story of a legendary lawman in the Old West, Bass Reeves (Oyelowo). Episodes follow 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.
As of December 22, 2024, Lawmen has not been cancelled or renewed for a second season. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
This show was created by Taylor Sheridan, who has made several successful series for Paramount Network and Paramount+. Lawmen is an anthology series, so if one lawman’s story isn’t very successful, the following season can focus on another historical figure. I do not doubt that Lawmen will be renewed for a second season. I’ll keep my ears open and an eye out for news, and will update this page with breaking developments.
