Ahead of the second installment of Yellowstone’s final season airing in late 2024, the universe of the Kevin Costner-led western series continues to expand with the announcement of two new projects. To date, two prequels have already been released: 1883 and 1923 starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.
The Nov. 5 premiere of the new Western series Lawmen: The Bass Reeves Story may indicate that this is a new production derived from the world of Yellowstone. Especially since the two series run on the same platform (Paramount+) and both are produced by Taylor Sheridan, the creator of Yellowstone.
But the connections between the two series are limited to this credit, as Lawmen: The Story of Bass Reeves is not another Yellowstone prequel, but the first season of a historical anthology that traces the history of the most famous lawmen. American West.
Therefore, this season 1 decided to depict the life of Bass Reeves, who is famous for being the first African-American deputy sheriff in the history of the United States. He was credited with more than 3,000 arrests during his career lawyerThe latter also inspired the famous Lone Ranger in the western series of the same name.
Although they don’t share the same universe, there’s no doubt that Yellowstone and Lawmen will offer comparable enjoyment to Western fans and subscribers to Paramount+, which exclusively offers these two series!
