Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Lawmen: Bass Reeves’ to Air Premiere Episodes on CBS

CBS will air a special broadcast of Taylor Sheridan’s newest Paramount+ series “Lawmen: Bass Reeves,” the network announced Wednesday.

Following Sunday’s launch of the new anthology series on Paramount+, the first two episodes of “Lawmen: Bass Reeves” will premiere back-to-back on CBS on Sunday, Nov. 12, at 9 p.m ET/PT, following an episode of “Yellowstone.”

David Oyelowo stars as Bass Reeves, an enslaved laborer who rose to become one of the first Black U.S. Deputy Marshals 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,” according to the official logline.
