Lawmen: Bass Reeves is the latest Western series on Paramount+ to hit our watchlist, and you can bet your shiniest cowboy boots that we'll be tuned in week after week when it premieres on Sunday, November 5.
The Taylor Sheridan series will follow the real life story of the American law enforcement official, Bass Reeves (played by David Oyelowo). And if it's anything like Yellowstone or one of the Yellowstone spinoffs, we know the scenery and cinematography will be unmatched. Stunning, even!
Not to get too ahead of ourselves, but now we're sitting here wondering where Lawmen: Bass Reeves is filmed. We know that the show is technically a spinoff of the Yellowstone franchise, but it also has no connection to the actual Dutton storyline. So, will the series be shot in the same Yellowstone filming locations? Not necessarily! Read on for everything you need to know about where Lawmen: Bass Reeves is filmed, including some of the real life locations that you can visit yourself!
Where is Lawmen: Bass Reeves filmed?
A few places, actually! Most of the locations reside in North Texas, specifically the cities Fort Worth, Glen Rose, Weatherford, Stephenville and Strawn—according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
North Texas is where Yellowstone prequel 1883 shot many of its scenes! That's not to say that North Texas makes up all of the filming locations for Lawmen: Bass Reeves, though it's the confirmed list we have right now.
Did Lawmen: Bass Reeves film at Taylor Sheridan's ranch?
Yep! Sheridan owns Bosque Ranch over in Weatherford, Texas—with some of the scenes being shot there. This shouldn't come as a surprise, though! For one, there have been some social media posts made in the past of David Oyelowo alongside some other Yellowstone franchise cast members over at the ranch.
This was likely a "Cowboy Camp" taking place, which Sheridan regularly takes his Yellowstone cast members to ahead of filming. That only adds more validity to this fact, making us all the more excited for the show!
