[This interview was conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike authorization.] FX‘s powerful comedy Reservation Dogs is poised to kick off its final season on Hulu on Wednesday, August 2, and star Zahn McClarnon has reflected ahead of the premiere. “It’s a wonderful show to be a part of,” the actor told TV Insider. For those less familiar with the half-hour series from co-creators Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi, Reservation Dogs follows a group of young adults living on an Oklahoma-based reservation and who have been trying to find their way in the wake of their friend’s untimely death. (Credit: Ryan RedCorn/FX) McClarnon plays reservation cop Big, who has gotten into his fair share of shenanigans ranging from a Deer Lady (Kaniehtiio Horn) run-in to a hilarious and memorable acid trip in the woods. It’s a far cry from his more serious leading role in AMC‘s Dark Winds, which recently returned for its...

Reservation Dogs — Pictured: Devery Jacobs as Elora Danan. Cr: Ryan RedCorn/FX When Devery Jacobs was cast in one of the lead roles on the Hulu series Reservation Dogs, they were getting more than an actor. Jacobs has been dabbling in other aspects of filmmaking for a while. So, after the series was renewed for a second season, Jacobs took an interest in helping to tell the show’s stories as a writer. When we spoke to her about those aspirations, she told us about the unexpected response she got from series co-creator/executive producer Sterlin Harjo and why she wanted her writing credits to reflect a different name than her acting credit.

Reservation Dogs — Pictured: Devery Jacobs as Elora Danan. Cr: Ryan RedCorn/FX The series Reservation Dogs has received nearly universal acclaim in each of its first two seasons, with special attention paid to the fact that nearly all of its cast and crew members are indigenous people. Devery Jacobs, who stars as one of the Reservation Dogs gang members (and makes her screenwriting debut with this week’s episode), says that the focus on making the show an authentic indigenous experience, paradoxically, opens it up to an even wider audience.

When the first round of glowing reviews for “Reservation Dogs” arrived last summer, the surprise hit was praised for its authenticity, humor, and poignancy. And there wasn’t a critic who failed to single out the cast of young new faces and first-time Indigenous performers anchoring the show.
“There’s a myth that there are no Native actors,” said series creator Sterlin Harjo. It’s a catch-22 Harjo is all too familiar with: There are not a lot of Indigenous actors in Hollywood, because there’s not a lot of work for them there. “It’s like a Western comes out once every however many years, you know? And it’s not that fun to play the same parts over and over and over.”
The search the show’s four young leads — all relative newcomers — might conjure up images of one of those needle-in-a-haystack epic casting stories that becomes Hollywood legend,...

Exclusive: One day after the Season 1 finale of Reservation Dogs launched on FX on Hulu, the dramady opened up its writers room for Season 2 – and they’re going large.
Almost doubling in size, the all-Indigenous staffed room will also see star Devery Jacobs stepping behind the camera too for the next season.
“She’s made films and it’s something that she’s always wanted,” Reservation Dogs creator Sterlin Harjo told Deadline about the actress, who portrays Elora Danan on the acclaimed dramedy. “I found myself on set, sometimes we would lean on her, like there would be something that Elora Danan was going through and we would go to Devery for the answer and she would give us this very thoughtful answer,” the showrunner said.
“Sometimes she would even bring the issue up to us, like you know, something that she felt like Elora wouldn’t do or needed to do,...
