Lawmen: Bass Reeves creator Chad Feehan explained how Yellowstone's Taylor Sheridan employed his "God-given gift for storytelling" in his new series.
The Big Picture The newest branch of the Taylor Sheridan-verse is about to arrive, though it's not coming directly from the Yellowstone mastermind. Originally developed as a spinoff to the spinoff 1883, Lawmen: Bass Reeves has since become a standalone series created by Ray Donovan writer Chad Feehan who also serves as showrunner. Although the series is loosely tied to Sheridan's crown jewel franchise, he's only attached to the project as an executive producer.
"So, in the scripting phase, he would be able to point to a moment in a script that I or another writer wrote and say, 'You know, if you put this tiny little moment right here, the idea that you're trying to get across will really make the story sing louder. So that was invaluable in scripting.
Bass Reeves follows the exploits of the titular first Black deputy U.S. marshal west of the Mississippi, one of America's greatest lawmen who escaped slavery and would apprehend over 3,000 criminals by the time his law enforcement days were done. David Oyelowo leads the cast as Reeves with Donald Sutherland, Dennis Quaid, Lauren E. Banks, Demi Singleton, Barry Pepper, and Forrest Goodluck among its stars.
