Chad Feehan spoke about the change in distinction. He said the following, via TV Line:
“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 season takes place from, roughly, 1862 to 1877.”
Lawmen is an anthology series that follows a different legendary lawman each season. Lawmen: Bass Reeves premieres on Sunday, November 5.
