‘Lawmen: Bass Reeves’ Teaser Trailer: First Look At David Oyelowo As The Legendary U.S. Deputy Marshal; Photos

“I’m Deputy U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves, and your wicked days are done.” So warns David Oyelowo as the title character in the first teaser trailer for Taylor Sheridan’s Lawmen: Bass Reeves. Paramount+ also released some of the first images from the anthology series, created for television by exec producer and showrunner Chad Feehan.

Per the logline: Lawmen: Bass Reeves will bring the legendary lawman and outlaws of the Wild West to life. Reeves (Oyelowo), known as the greatest frontier hero in American history, 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.
