Get ready for an exciting ride as Paramount takes us back to the Wild West with the upcoming series, Lawmen: Bass Reeves. However, there's a question lingering - is this new series connected to the popular Yellowstone universe? As the anticipation for Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 builds up, fans eagerly await a confirmed release date after the cliffhanger of Season 5 Part 1.
Lawmen: Bass Reeves, a new show produced by Paramount and created by Taylor Sheridan, is scheduled to premiere on November 5, 2023. The series explores the life of Bass Reeves, a real-life lawman, portrayed by David Oyelowo, who is believed to have inspired The Lone Ranger. Despite being both Western dramas, it remains uncertain if Lawmen: Bass Reeves shares any direct connection with Yellowstone, considering their similar genres.
Is Lawmen: Bass Reeves a Yellowstone spin-off?
No, Lawmen: Bass Reeves isn’t a Yellowstone spin-off. However, when the project was first announced, it was touted to fit into the existing Yellowstone world.
Originally announced in 2021, the introduction of Bass Reeves implied that it could potentially serve as a spin-off or even a second series to the prequel of Yellowstone, 1883.
Considering the fact that Bass Reeves lived from 1838 to 1910, it is logical to assume that the timeline would align for a sequel to take place in 1883. Speculation initially surrounded the possible involvement of Sam Elliot, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill in the series.
Nevertheless, as more information emerged about Lawmen: Bass Reeves, it was officially announced that the show will be an independent installment within the expanding Sheridan-verse.
The show's current official synopsis describes Bass Reeves as a legendary lawman, renowned as one of the greatest heroes on the frontier and one of the first Black deputy US marshals to serve west of the Mississippi River in American history.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, David Oyelowo expressed his optimism for the show.
My aim, my aspiration, my desire for this has always been to have a chance to present the significance of Black people's contribution to this country in a fresh and unconventional manner.
The remarkable narrative of Bass Reeves perfectly embodies that. Our dream is to work alongside exceptional talent like Taylor Sheridan to share these stories with the broadest audience possible. We firmly believe that this vision can and will come to fruition through our aligned ambitions with ViacomCBS and its renowned platforms.
