With No Yellowstone Return in Sight, Paramount+ Slots New Taylor Sheridan Series — Plus, That Trailer… Shoot!
It’s been a minute since Yellowstone fans got a fix of the Paramount Network drama. And it’s going to be a long minute more before the series returns for the back half of its fifth and final season. In the meantime, Paramount+ will endeavor to satisfy our craving with the latest addition to Taylor Sheridan’s slate of programming, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, a sort of extension of Yellowstone prequel 1883. On Thursday, the streamer not only pulled the trigger on a shoot-’em-up of a trailer for the wild Western but announced that it would premiere on Sunday, Nov. 5, with back-to-back episodes.

Sheridan and leading man David Oyelowo are both EPs on the anthology series that is set to follow the dusty trails of history’s iconic lawmen and outlaws; creator Chad Feehan is showrunner. Per the official Season 1 logline, the eight episodes will track Reeves’ “rise from enslavement to law enforcement as the first Black U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi. Despite arresting over 3,000 outlaws during the course of his career, the weight of the badge was heavy, and he wrestled with its moral and spiritual cost to his beloved family.”
In addition to two-time Emmy nominee Oyelowo (Nightingale) as the title character, the cast includes Dennis Quaid, Donald Sutherland, Garrett Hedlund, Barry Pepper, Forrest Goodluck and Justified alum Dale Dickey.
