“Think you can handle the weight of the badge?” Paramount+ has unveiled another proper teaser trailer for Lawmen: Bass Reeves, the next new Taylor Sheridan gritty western series. It’s now set to permeiere on Paramount+ in November this fall. Maybe this will end up being a big hit, too? Has strong potential. Bass Reeves is a former slave turned American law enforcement official; historically he’s the first Black deputy U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi River. David Oyelowo stars as Bass Reeves – known as the greatest frontier hero in American history, who worked in the Post-Reconstruction era as a federal peace officer in the Indian Territory, capturing over 3,000 of the most dangerous criminals without ever being wounded. The cast also includes Dennis Quaid, Forrest Goodluck, Lauren E. Banks as Jennie Reeves, Bass’ wife, Barry Pepper, Grantham Coleman, with Demi Singleton as his daughter, Sally. Plus Donald Sutherland, Shea Whigham, and Garrett Hedlund. This looks legit good, especially with Oyelowo in the lead – don’t think it would be the same without him playing the role. Worth a look just to see the footage.
Here’s the second teaser trailer for Taylor Sheridan’s series Lawmen: Bass Reeves, from YouTube:
