Bass Reeves Season 2: A Comprehensive Overview

The new Western series on Paramount+ has quickly become a fan favorite, but the big question is: will there be a Season 2 of Lawmen: Bass Reeves? Here's what we can tell you.

Even though it stands on its own, Lawmen: Bass Reeves is part of the Wild West stories making their mark on Paramount+, similar to Yellowstone.

Is there a possibility of a second season for Lawmen: Bass Reeves? Here's what we know so far about the series based on the true story of the legendary lawman who is rumored to have inspired The Lone Ranger. The show follows the journey of a former enslaved man who became one of the first Black deputy U.S. Marshals, and the first to serve west of the Mississippi River.

Will there be a Lawmen: Bass Reeves Season 2?

There are currently no confirmed plans for Lawmen: Bass Reeves Season 2 – but that doesn’t mean the Lawmen series won’t carry on.

Director Damian Marcano hinted in a recent interview with Digital Spy that Bass Reeves’ story may have come to an end, with Lawmen being more likely to continue as an anthology series.

Marcano expressed his love for the subject matter and filming location of Bass Reeves, stating "I would love for it to be... I thoroughly fell in love with the subject matter, and with our filming location." He also expressed confidence in the potential success of the series, saying "if enough people want to watch this, then guess what? There will be more." Additionally, he mentioned that while the series is currently an anthology covering a different lawman in each series, David Oyelowo has set a high standard for the future of the show.

Is there a Lawmen: Bass Reeves Season 2 release?

Marcano also mentioned to Digital Spy that he envisions the series as a "relative" to the popular Taylor Sheridan show Yellowstone, positioning it within the expanding universe of the show. Sheridan was an executive producer for the initial season of Bass Reeves.

Lawmen: Bass Reeves Season 2 does not have a confirmed release date or official plans. Because Bass Reeves is connected to the expanding Sheridan-verse, other shows would take priority if a Season 2 were to be approved.

Keep an eye out for updates on the highly anticipated Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, now set to premiere in November 2024. Fans are also eagerly awaiting the release of 1923 Season 2. Check back here for the latest updates.
