Despite its central character having connections to the Yellowstone franchise, Lawmen: Bass Reeves isn’t a spinoff of the titular Western drama series, according to its creator.In an interview with TVLine, creator and showrunner Chad Feehan confirmed Bass Reeves’ official timeline, clarifying the upcoming show based on the eponymous peace officer is not a part of the Yellowstone universe. Originally announced as a prequel to 1883, Bass Reeves was officially disconnected from the Yellowstone franchise once Feehan learned more details about the lawman’s life. “[It was] an idea that we briefly talked about. But for me, once I learned some of the things I didn’t know about Bass’ life, and decided where we wanted to start the story and where we wanted to end the story, it preceded 1883. [The show] takes place from, roughly, 1862 to 1877,” he said.Lawmen: Bass Reeves was originally called 1883: The Bass Reeves Story when the series was set at Paramount+ in May of last year, with the show heavily based on the first two books of Sydney Thompson’s The Bass Reeves Trilogy. However, Feehan’s timeline dispels the connection, likely prompting the name change. Filming for the season began in January of this year, running until June.RELATED: Is Lawmen: Bass Reeves Connected to Yellowstone?
