Sheridan has rebranded his series centered on Bass Reeves, bringing in a fresh title, an innovative structure, and an additional cast member. Joining the anthology series, which is now named Lawmen: Bass Reeves, is the talented Donald Sutherland.
According to TV Guide, the Hunger Games star is playing the part of Judge Isaac Parker in the upcoming western. Described as a formidable and authoritative figure in the Fort Smith Courthouse, Judge Parker possesses a complex and intriguing legacy.

Everything we know about the ‘1883’ spinoff
Because filming for Lawmen: Bass Reeves is still underway, Sheridan is unlikely to release a premiere date anytime soon. But based on his previous track record, the 1883 spinoff could air as soon as late 2023.
Production started back in October and should be close to wrapping up. The show will only feature six episodes, with Sheridan helming the first two installments.
Sheridan has yet to release an official trailer, but he did give fans a teaser with a Lawmen: Bass Reeves poster. The captivating artwork showcases a cowboy, most likely the main character, gazing into the sunset.
Born into slavery in 1838, Reeves became a member of the U.S. Marshals in 1875. Throughout his storied tenure with the U.S. Marshals, he achieved legendary status and is widely regarded as the inspiration behind the iconic Lone Ranger character.
Lawmen: Bass Reeves is expected to premiere later this year on Paramount+.
