David Oyelowo dons the badge of America's greatest lawman and faces outlaws of all kinds in a tense new trailer for Lawmen: Bass Reeves.
The Big Picture It's nearly time for David Oyelowo to grab his badge and gun and head to Paramount+ for the premiere of Lawmen: Bass Reeves. A new trailer for the Western series sees the Selma star learning to carry the weight of the badge as the U.S.'s first Black Deputy Marshal west of the Mississippi.
The trailer tracks the rise of Bass Reeves, opening on a shot of him tensely spinning the cylinder of his revolver. Born into slavery and forced to fight for the Confederate army, he eventually fled into Native American territory and defied the odds to accept the responsibility of a lawman. By the time his days are done, he'll have apprehended over 3,000 outlaws with that big iron on his hip, but he first needed to prove he had "a good gun and a straight spine" to get the badge.
Bass Reeves is no mere lawman. The new footage also shows how much of a family man he is, caring for his kids and loving his wife when he has the chance. None of that is safe in a world where Black Americans aren't seen as equal though. As Reeves defends the innocent, his family is also forced to contend with those who don't want him or his family anywhere near their land like.
'Lawmen: Bass Reeves' Brings More Stars to the Sheridan-Verse Oyelowo leads the starry Bass Reeves in what will be his second role as a prestige television lawman this year. He previously played a pivotal role in Apple TV+'s hit dystopian series Silo as Sheriff Holston, joining a loaded cast led by Rebecca Ferguson. Here, he gets the chance to be a leading man once again with Sutherland, Dennis Quaid, Lauren E.
Before becoming a standalone anthology, Bass Reeves was initially conceived as a spinoff to the Yellowstone spinoff 1883 down to its original name. As he researched more, Sheridan and creator/showrunner Chad Feehan wanted a focus on the true story rather than having to tie things to the Dutton clan.
