Debut: Sunday, November 5
Episodes: 8

Lawmen: Bass Reeves is the first installment of an anthology series about famous lawmen throughout history. This part stars David Oyelowo as the titular 1870s character, who was one of the first black US Marshals and caught thousands of criminals in his time in the Indian Territories.
So you can expect some Western action and drama, but above all, some historical fact-based entertainment. The cast is rounded out by Dennis Quaid, Donald Sutherland, Forrest Goodluck and Lauren Banks.
If this sounds right up your creek, here's how to watch Lawmen: Bass Reeves.
How to stream Lawmen: Bass Reeves
Fans will be able to watch Lawmen: Bass Reeves using the streaming service Paramount Plus, which gets the show exclusively. That's right: unlike some other Sheridan shows, there's no cable preview available for Lawmen.
Paramount Plus costs $5.99 / £6.99 per month for a subscription or 10 months' fees for an annual plan. In the US there's a $11.99 Showtime plan as well, but you don't need this one to watch Bass Reeves.
A 7-day free trial is available for Paramount Plus, if you want to check it out. You can also get a second free trial if you're a Prime Video subscriber because there's a Paramount Plus channel that has its own separate trial.
