Lawmen: Bass Reeves Trailer, Key Art & Character Portraits Released

Here's the trailer for Paramount+'s Chad Feehan-created, Taylor Sheridan-executive produced, and David Oyelowo-starring Lawmen: Bass Reeves.

With less than a month to go until the Chad Feehan-created, Taylor Sheridan-executive produced, and David Oyelowo-starring & executive-produced Lawmen: Bass Reeves hits our screens, Paramount+ is offering viewers an extended look at what they can expect from the anthology series. Set to bring the story of Reeves (portrayed by Oyelowo) to life, the series shines a spotlight on the first black Deputy U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi River- known to many as the greatest frontier hero in American history. Working as a federal peace officer in the Indian Territory during the Post-Reconstruction era, Reeves would go on to capture over 3,000 of the most dangerous criminals – without ever being wounded. With Oyelowo, Lauren E. Banks, Demi Singleton, Forrest Goodluck, Emmy Award winner Barry Pepper, Honorary Oscar recipient Donald Sutherland, and Emmy Award nominee Dennis Quaid starring, we're kicking things off with a look at the season's official key art poster:

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.

LAWMEN: BASS REEVES is an all-new, standalone anthology series and future iterations will follow other iconic lawmen and outlaws who have impacted history.
