Bass Reeves Sings Along With His Prisoner In Lawmen: Bass Reeves Episode 5 Clip [EXCLUSIVE]

Lawmen: Bass Reeves dramatizes the life and times of a real-world figure: the first black Deputy Marshal west of the Mississippi River. Created by Chad Feehan, the series was initially in consideration as a spinoff to Taylor Sheridan’s drama miniseries 1883; though Lawmen: Bass Reeves eventually became its own entity, Sheridan is still an executive producer. The miniseries debuted on November 5th on Paramount+ and will run eight episodes in total.

It points at some of the key dynamics at play after the events of Lawmen: Bass Reeves episode 4 and even has an engaging musical moment. Take a look at the clip below before the episode itself releases Sunday, November 26th on Paramount+.
