Taylor Sheridan is the actor and director who has probably become best know as the co-creator of the epic Paramount Network series "Yellowstone" and its prequels "1883" and "1923."
His newest project is serving as executive producer for "Lawmen: Bass Reeves," a Paramount+ anthology series that launches Nov. 5 that feels like it should be part of the "Yellowstone" arc but is separate entity. "Lawmen: Bass Reeves" is a passion project of star David Oyelowo, who takes on the title role, and tells the story of the first Black U.S. Marshal, Bass Reeves.
The show also stars Donald Sutherland, Dennis Quaid, Lauren E. Banks and Demi Singleton.
In this week's episode, co-host Bruce Miller has interviews with showrunner Chad Feehan and Damian Marcano, one of the directors.

'Lawmen: Bass Reeves' is an epic miniseries
Bruce Miller: It's Western week because there's this huge miniseries, and I'm not kidding you, it is, a grand effort called Lawmen, M-E-N Bass Reeves. So you go lawmen. There's only one. What's the deal? And what this is hopefully going to be is a series of profiles of various and sundry law men over the course of time. But Bass Reeves was a kind of a passion of David O. Yellowo, the star of the limited series. And he had always wanted to do this story because he thought it was so rare. He's the first black deputy US. Marshal west of the you, know, is there one east of the Mississippi? I have no. But it's a fascinating look at this man and his standards. It really is a lot know, what he does is what he thinks is right, and right becomes the driving force behind all of this. And you see Bass in a lot of situations. It is epic. An epic, epic limited, series. There are huge battle scenes. There are huge kind of roundups. There's a lot of violence. I'm giving you that right away. There's a lot of violence in this thing. And there's a lot of intimate moments where you see him one on one with his family, with others, with people that used to be in charge of his life. And it's a fascinating look at a period that I really didn't realize I needed to know more of. I thought most of these stories were already told, but Bass Reeves story is one that's been out there for years that people have wanted to do, but nobody has gotten the ability to do it. And what we learned is that it took, you know, when you've got somebody behind Yellowstone, saying, yeah, I think we should do this, they suddenly pop too, and decide that they're going to do it, too.
People were wrongly say
