The eight-episode season will follow Reeves’ “rise from enslavement to law enforcement as the first Black U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi. Despite arresting over 3,000 outlaws during the course of his career, the weight of the badge was heavy, and he wrestled with its moral and spiritual cost to his beloved family,” per the official logline. The series will premiere with two episodes on Sunday, Nov. 5.
