November 12 at 9 PM, making a very full Taylor Sheridan night for the Eye Network following the end of the Big Brother season. Reeves worked in the post-Reconstruction era as a federal peace officer in the Indian Territory. He is said to have captured more than 3,000 of the most dangerous criminals without ever being wounded, and for it, he is considered the greatest frontier hero in American history. However, the responsibility of the badge weighed heavily on him, constantly wrestling with its moral and spiritual effects on his dear family.

It also stars Donald Sutherland as Judge Isaac Pearce Demi Singleton as Reeves daughter Sally, Forrest Goodluck as the Cherokee Billy Crow, and Barry Pepper as leader of the 1st Cherokee Mounted Rifles Esau Pierce.

Lawmen: Bass Reeves was created by Chad Feehan, who also serves as showrunner, based on the first two books of The Bass Reeves Trilogy by Sidney Thompson, titled Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves, and Hell on the Border. The TV series is the first chapter of the Lawmen anthology. It is an executive produced by Sheridan and Oyelowo, David C. Glasser, David’s wife Jessica Oyelowo, David Permut, Christina Alexandra Voros, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari and David Hutkin. It is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios, Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions and Oyelowo’s Yoruba Saxon, and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution outside of Paramount+’s international markets.
