'Yellowstone' creator Taylor Sheridan has signed on to direct two episodes of '1883: The Bass Reeves Story.'
Taylor Sheridan is quickly becoming one of the busiest men in television. Yesterday, it was announced that he would be directing the first two episodes of a new series The Bass Reeves Story. The six-episode series will tell the story of Bass Reeves, the first black deputy U.S. Marshall in the American West, with David Oyelowo playing the title role.
Sheridan got his start as an actor best known for his roles in series like Sons of Anarchy and Veronica Mars. Sheridan then made his splash on the other side of the camera when he wrote the critically acclaimed Sicario and Hell or High Water, the latter of which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Original Screenplay. He also wrote and directed Wind River, which starred Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The Bass Reeves Story will follow the lawman’s life from his birth into slavery to all his accomplishments as a deputy marshal. In real life, it is reported that during the civil war, Reeves escaped and lived with Native American tribes until slavery was abolished. He was eventually recruited to be a deputy due to him knowing the land and understanding several Native American languages.
“The reality is that he is one of the best storytellers on the planet. My whole thing is that we’ve got to tell a story worthy of that history, but worthy of a global audience and he’s one of those rare guys, and I’ve worked with a few of them, and he’s one of those rare ones who can really do that. It’s a big deal.”
The Bass Reeves Story will see Sheridan executive producing alongside Oyelowo, Jessica Oyelowo, David Permut, David Glasser, Ron Burkle, and Bob Yari. MTV Entertainment Studios, Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions, the Oyelowos’ Yoruba Saxon production company, and 101 Studios are the companies in charge of producing the series.
