Most Taylor Sheridan programs have run for at least 2 seasons, andLawmen: Bass Reeveshas almost unlimited potential.

Even thoughYellowstonehas faded into the past, the various spinoffs prove that Sheridan hasn’t missed a beat.

Continuing the expanded universe of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone franchise, Lawmen: Bass Reeves is a western drama that acts as a spin-off of 1883 and follows the titular lawman who became the first black Deputy Marshal west of the Mississippi River. The show will follow his journey to becoming the lawman he was known to be, all while fleshing out the greater Yellowstone universe.
