Western drama fans, be prepared for your latest series obsession – Lawmen: Bass Reeves.

The new series debuts on Paramount Plus, who, along with series creator Taylor Sheridan, are already known for bringing us hits like Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown and Tulsa King.

Well, now Sheridan has teamed up with David Oyelowo to bring the story of legendary lawman Bass Reeves to life.

Reeves was known as the greatest frontier hero in American history and worked in the post-Reconstruction era as a federal peace officer.

As well as serving as executive producer, Oyelowo also leads the cast as Reeves, and is joined by Lauren E Banks (City on a Hill), Demi Singleton (King Richard), Forrest Goodluck (The Revenant), Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan), Donald Sutherland (The Hunger Games) and Dennis Quaid (The Parent Trap).

The series is not a spin-off of the popular Yellowstone TV universe, but does follow a similar weekly release pattern of episodes, meaning fans will be left waiting for answers to their burning questions from the opening instalments.

So, just when can we expect the next episode of Lawmen: Bass Reeves to land on Paramount Plus? Read on to find out.
