Lawmen: Bass Reeves
Some legends are true.
Created by Chad Feehan
On Paramount+
A prestige Western miniseries that dramatizes the legendary true story of a freed slave turned federal marshal, balancing historical gravitas with the visual beauty and moral complexity of the post-Reconstruction frontier.
The story of Bass Reeves, the legendary lawman of the wild West, is brought to life. Reeves 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—and is believed to be the inspiration for The Lone Ranger.
