Wild West Chronicles is an American television series, which airs on INSP. The historical docudrama series follows the life of Bat Masterson, a newspaper reporter that traveled the frontier during the late 1800s to uncover stories about the Wild West.
The show stars Jack Elliott as Masterson, with the first show airing in 2020.[1] The first season was temporarily halted during COVID-19, before returning in 2021.[2] A third season of the show premiered on April 6, 2023.[3] A fourth season of the show was greenlit in February 2023.
Once a feared lawman, the legendary Bat Masterson trades his sheriff's badge for a pen to chase stories instead of outlaws.[4] Each week, the gunslinger-turned-newspaperman travels the frontier to chronicle the wildest stories of the Old West, meeting eyewitnesses who share their vivid memories of remarkable characters such as Wild Bill Hickok, Pearl Hart, Stagecoach Mary, Butch Cassidy, and Bass Reeves.[5]
The Dove Foundation awarded the series the Dove Seal of Approval.[6]
