Watch Lawmen: Bass Reeves online

Lawmen: Bass Reeves premieres on Sunday, November 5. Viewers can stream the series exclusively on Paramount Plus everywhere the platform is available. Wherever you are, if you’re new to the service you'll be entitled to a free trial. Use a VPN to watch new episodes from anywhere if you're abroad. Read on for full details on where to watch Lawmen: Bass Reeves online.


From being born into slavery and having to fight on behalf of the Confederate Army, to escaping and being taken in by the Cherokees, Creeks and Seminoles before emerging as a marksman of such legendary prowess that he became the first black US Marshal west of the Mississippi – now said to be an inspiration for the Lone Ranger – Bass Reeves' story has to be heard to be believed.

The eight-episode opening season of Taylor Sheridan's new Lawmen anthology series chronicles the extraordinary life and times of a man who's reported to have taken down more than 3,000 outlaws in his time without suffering so much as wound.

According to the tales, he'd hand out keepsakes along the way, and would sometimes roam the plains in light disguise, despite being one of the most conspicuous figures in Arkansas and the Oklahoma Territory, made even more so by the trademark moustache so bristly it could surely be spotted from a mile off.

Dennis Quaid, Forrest Goodluck and Donald Sutherland co-star, with David Oyelowo as Reeves himself, in this long-overdue homage to one of the most beloved and unsung figures in American history. Follow our guide below for how to watch Lawmen: Bass Reeves online wherever you are.
