Garrett Hedlund is the next rough-and-rugged star to join the Yellowstone universe.
Tulsa King co-star Garrett Hedlund is reuniting with that show's creator, Taylor Sheridan, for the new Paramount+ Western drama Bass Reeves. According to Variety, Hedlund will play Garrett Montgomery, a "posse man" hired by the lawman of the show's title "for his riding know-how and expertise of the area."
Hedlund, who portrays bull rider-turned-bartender-turned-gangster Mitch Keller on Sheridan's Tulsa King, joins the previously-cast Dennis Quaid, Barry Pepper, Demi Singleton, Forrest Goodluck, Lauren E. Banks and Grantham Coleman in Bass Reeves.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Speaking to Collider late last year, Hedlund praised Sheridan: "Taylor's an outlaw. He writes outlaw characters. You can't help but want to watch these guys, want to root for them, all their struggles, all their conflicts. I mean, he writes outlaw gold. Hell or High Water, Sicario, creating Yellowstone, now this... Taylor's really got a gift, but he does all the work. He's phenomenal.
“So Bass Reeves is a character who the Lone Ranger was actually based on. But unfortunately, he was whitewashed out of history. He was born into enslavement, went on to fight in the Civil War [and] then escaped to the Indian Territory; learned the Native American languages and skills, which ended up being applied to his career as a lawman, and [he] had the most prolific career. 3000 arrests in his career and someone whose exploits are truly legendary.
Although a release date has not yet been announced, Bass Reeves is currently filming near Fort Worth, Texas. In addition to writing and executive producing the show, Sheridan will direct the first two episodes as well. Check out the video below to learn more about Sheridan's big 1883 mistake:
