Lawmen: Bass Reeves Showrunner Explains Why It Isn’t A Yellowstone Spinoff, Clarifies Series Timeline

Lawmen: Bass Reeves creator and showrunner Chad Feehan explains why the upcoming series is not a Yellowstone spinoff despite previous suggestions that it was. Executive produced by Taylor Sheridan of Yellowstone fame and lead star David Oyelowo, the two-time Emmy nominee plays the titular character Bass Reeves, who became the first Black U.S. Marshal in the American West. Although the show was initially announced as a prequel to 1883, it has since been clarified that Lawmen is not part of the Yellowstone universe.
