Reservation Dogs 2021
Reservation Dogs is a Native American comedy drama series produced by FX Productions and created by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi. The show centers on Indigenous teenagers residing in rural Oklahoma, exploring their experiences as they manage the challenges of growing up while dealing with their cultural identity and aspirations to leave the reservation behind. The series was extended for a second season in 2021 and then for a third and final season in 2022, which began airing on August 2, 2023. It ended its run on September 27, 2023.
This television program stands as the first American series with an all-Native American writing and directing team, and it features an almost entirely Indigenous North American cast and crew. It is worth noting that a large part of Oklahoma is designated as Indian Territory, a status confirmed by the 2020 Supreme Court ruling in McGirt v. Oklahoma. The first season was entirely filmed in Oklahoma, making it a historic milestone for scripted television. The series debuted on Hulu under the FX on Hulu branding on August 9, 2021, which coincides with the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples.
Reservation Dogs garnered widespread critical praise and earned multiple awards, including two Peabody Awards and two Independent Spirit Awards. It was nominated for five Primetime Emmy Awards, such as Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, one Golden Globe, six Television Critics Association Awards, and nine Critics' Choice Television Awards. Furthermore, it was consistently ranked among the top ten television programs by the American Film Institute in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
