“I couldn’t be more proud of this show that I created with my friend Taika Waititi,” series co-creator Sterlin Harjo also said of the renewal. “It was born out of a conversation in Taika’s kitchen and has now made its way into the lives of people across the world. The love for season 2 has been outstanding. Thank you to FX for ordering season 3, excited to bring you more laughter and love from the Rez. Ahoooo!”
Harjo and Waititi created the series and serve as executive producers alongside Garret Basch. Additionally, Harjo also serves as showrunner and director.
Reservation Dogs Has an Indigenous Main Cast
FX
Reservation Dogs has a cast in which every series regular is Indigenous, as are every writer and director working on the series. The show stars D’PHaraoh Woon-A-Tai, Devery Jacobs, Paulina Alexis, and Lane Factor. Also featured in supporting roles are Elva Guerra, Sarah Podemski, Zahn McClarnon, and Dallas Goldtooth.
“You can’t go to Hollywood to cast a show like this,” Harpo has said of casting the series, via NPR. “[Native actors usually] get to play, like, a dead Indian outside of a teepee every five to 10 years, you know? So there’s not a big pool of Native actors in L.A. So we went to the communities, and shout out to Angelique Midthunder, who was our casting director. She went in and we went to different communities and we also had tapes sent to us from communities, but it was important that they were from an Indigenous community.”
Harjo added, “It wasn’t unnecessarily unorthodox for me, because I’ve been making these films for so long, and I know that there’s talent out there. There’s just not opportunities for Native actors to even know that there’s an opportunity to be in a movie.”
Per FX, the half-hour comedy series follows the exploits of “four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma who steal, rob and save in order to get to the exotic, mysterious and faraway land of California. The show’s first-of-its-kind Indigenous creative team invites audiences into a surprisingly familiar and funny world.”
Reservation Dogs can be found streaming on Hulu. Season 3 does not yet have a premiere date.
