Alfre Woodard has joined the cast of the upcoming Apple TV+ drama series “The Last Frontier,” Variety has learned exclusively.
Woodard joins previously announced series lead Jason Clarke in the show, as well as cast members Haley Bennett, Dominic Cooper, Simone Kessell, Tait Blum, and “Reservation Dogs” alum Dallas Goldtooth. Apple has given the show a 10-episode order.
Per the official description, the series “follows US Marshall Frank Remnick (Clarke), the lone Marshal in charge of the quiet, rugged barrens of Alaska, whose jurisdiction is turned upside-down when a prison transport plane crashes in the remote wilderness, setting free dozens of violent inmates. Tasked with protecting the town he’s vowed to keep safe, he begins to suspect the crash wasn’t an accident, but the first step of a well-crafted plan with international political implications.”

Daniel Fienberg’s Top 10
When we look back on television in 2023, it’s almost certain to stand out as a year of transition.
The cyclical conclusion of what we’ve come to know as Peak TV intersected with an unprecedented, production-halting strike by two key industry guilds wanting proper compensation and protections against whatever is coming next.
None of this meant there was a lack of new programming, mind you, but it led to unusually staggered release windows and more high-profile unscripted and international offerings than ever before. Plus, there was a run of series finales for some of the more acclaimed shows of the past decade, climaxing in that wild week in which Succession, Barry and Ted Lasso all ended.
It’s too soon to necessarily know what TV will look like in 2024 or 2025, but I’m confident the basic answer will be “different,” and not just because so...

This article contains spoilers for Reservation Dogs season 3 episode 10.
With the premiere of its final episode, FX’s Reservation Dogs has officially been sent off that good way. The season 3 finale, titled “Dig,” is filled with indelible moments that neatly wrap up three superb seasons and prepare the titular Rez Dogs for a glorious future to come.
Amid all that excitement, however, is one little in-joke that the less attentive viewer may have missed. As the town of Okern, Oklahoma gathers in the local church to pay their respects to departed Old Man Fixico (Richard Ray Whitman), several well-wishers assemble around the medicine man’s casket. One of those mourners is local constable/lighthorseman Big (Zahn McClarnon).
“Thank you for changing my life, brother,” a tearful Big says to Fixico before placing a hardcover book in his coffin.
Upon a closer inspection, the book is titled Man Moon. It also...

Death has always loomed over “Reservation Dogs,” the coming-of-age comedy that concludes its run on FX this week. When the show began, its teenage protagonists were still actively mourning their friend Daniel (Dalton Cramer), who died by suicide a year prior. Over three seasons, the show emphasized its namesake foursome were not alone in their grief. Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs) doesn’t remember much about her late mother, but her mother’s friends do; when Elora’s grandmother Mabel (Geraldine Keams) passes away, her final hours bring the entire small, Native town of Okern, Oklahoma into their home. Some of the series’ most memorable characters, like warrior William Knifeman (Dallas Goldtooth), are themselves no longer living — they’re spirits who return to counsel those left behind.

Reservation Dogs is finally back with its third and final season and so far it has been one of the wildest experiences of my life. Created by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi, the comedy-drama series follows the lives of four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma who are willing to steal and rob people in order to achieve their goal of moving to California.
The FX series consists of some of the best TV writing, I have seen in years and the cast of the series seems to be doing it justice. There are many dark and depressing moments in Reservation Dogs and all of them are handled beautifully. The only bad thing in the series is that it is ending too soon.

On August 2, 2023, FX premiered the third and final season of “Reservation Dogs,” scoring a perfect 100% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The critics consensus reads, “Bowing out while still having plenty of creativity to spare, ‘Reservation Dogs” final season sidesteps feeling premature by satisfying on every level.” The series created by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi centers on four Native American teenagers growing up on a reservation in eastern Oklahoma. The ensemble cast is led by D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai, Devery Jacobs, Lane Factor and Paulina Alexis.
The critically acclaimed comedy has been continuously snubbed by the Emmys, earning just a single bid for sound editing this year. Other awards groups have been more favorable, including the Critics Choice Awards, which nominated Woon-a-Tai for Best Comedy Actor, Jacobs for Best Comedy Actress and Alexis for Best Comedy Supporting Actress in addition to the show’s 2023 nomination for Best Comedy Series.

Sterlin Harjo is surprised that you’re surprised “Reservation Dogs” is ending. The critically acclaimed FX series, which returns to Hulu on Wednesday with its third and final season, is a dramatic comedy about a group of Indigenous teens finding their place among family and friends as they grow up in Oklahoma. But the thing about coming-of-age tales, Harjo notes, is that eventually the characters come of age.
“It’s a story that had an ending,” Harjo tells Variety. “It’s a story about people going through transition, and specifically kids going through a very transitional moment and grief. I just don’t think that lasts forever. I think that we’re meant to be with them during this transitional time. To me, the show’s too important to drag out.”
From the beginning, “Reservation Dogs” was about Elora (Devery Jacobs), Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis) and Cheese...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Reservation Dogs Season 3, Episode 1, “Bussin’.”] The Reservation Dogs are back as the third and final season of FX’s acclaimed series dropped its first two episodes on Hulu, and with it the start of a fresh chapter for the friends at the center of it all. After traveling to Los Angeles to live out their late friend Daniel’s dream, Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai), Elora (Devery Jacobs), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis), and Cheese (Lane Factor) begin the season stranded until Aunt Teenie (Tamara Podemski) comes to escort them back home to Oklahoma. Before she arrives though, Bear takes an important step in leaving the negative relationship he has with his father behind, and White Jesus (Brandon Boyd from Incubus) bids them adieu after watching over the group following their harrowing L.A. adventure which included being carjacked and robbed. “Bussin'” saw the friends hit the road and Spirit, William Knifeman (Dallas Goldtooth...

“Bussin,” the first of this week’s two episodes, opens in typical, wonderful Reservation Dogs fashion. A tumbleweed blows across the plains, a Native warrior rides into the center of the frame, and calls out to all us young and old warriors watching from more comfortable surroundings.

“Reservation Dogs” started with a farewell.
The revelatory FX comedy from Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi picked up in Season 1 with Elora Danan (Kawennáhere Devery Jacobs), Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis) and Cheese (Lane Factor) mourning their friend Daniel (Dalton Cramer), processing his suicide with petty theft and rebellion and a plan to run away from home. The show’s third and final season, premiering today, finds the res dogs cautiously forging their own paths — no longer afraid of losing each other and Daniel’s memory the way they were before visiting California. The four episodes screened for critics honor the show’s off-kilter humor and striking poignance, setting up a final farewell that will be equally bittersweet and triumphant.
The friends did make it to California in Season 2, wading into the ocean to say goodbye to Daniel after losing their car and communing with “White Jesus” (Brandon Boyd...

Early in the third and final season of FX/Hulu’s Reservation Dogs, Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai) finds himself peering up at a glittering night sky with Maximus (Graham Greene), the conspiracy theorist who’s temporarily taken him under his wing. “In order to observe the universe, you must put your back to the future and fix your eyes on the past,” Maximus advises him. “Celestial events that occurred long ago, we still see remnants of them. The universe knows. It always knows. We are just echoes of the things that came before.”
And though Maximus is a noted kook who spends his time growing eggplants in perpetual anticipation of alien visitors, his words in that moment ring true. Reservation Dogs has always been concerned with how histories, both personal and cultural, reverberate into the present and eventually the future. Its very premiere centered on the death a year earlier of the gang’s friend Daniel,...

Writer and creator Sterlin Harjo promised that the Season 3 finale of “Reservation Dogs” would serve as the perfect ending to the FX series on Hulu. It’s a bold claim in a culture that often sees fans ripping finales and their writers apart. But if the first few episodes of Season 3 are any indication, it’s more than likely our beloved Rez Dogs will get as close to perfect as possible.
From the first four episodes of the final season available for review, it’s clear the writers know exactly what the viewers want: Surreal spirits and quirky side characters guiding and challenging the young crew. Storytelling that manages to weave together the silly and absurd with some of the harsh realities Native populations have had to face over generations (the atrocities and aftermath of Indian boarding schools get called out on more than one occasion this season). And of course,...

The Rez Dogs return home for a final confrontation of the soul. FX released the official Reservation Dogs Season 3 trailer on Thursday, teasing the last season of the hit show created by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi. The series focuses on Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs), Bear Smallhill (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis), and Cheese (Lane Factor), four Indigenous teens in rural Oklahoma looking for purpose and opportunity in a world that’s often against them.
After spending two seasons gathering funds to travel to California in honor of their dead friend, Daniel (Dalton Cramer), the crew accomplished their mission but needed clarification about their next steps. In the Reservation Dogs Season 3, the foursome returns home. Well, except for Bear, who breaks from the group to embark on a soul-searching journey alongside the spirit of a long-passed warrior (Dallas Goldtooth) and a conspiracy theorist named Maximus (Graham Greene).

FX has released its first look at the final season of “Reservation Dogs.” Season 3’s trailer may mark the end of an era for Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi’s dry comedy, but based on the video, this last season also marks the start of something new for its central characters.
Since its premiere in 2021, “Reservation Dogs” has always been about the liminal space between childhood and adulthood. The series started with Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai) forgoing his friends’ plan to ditch the reservation after his persistent Spirit (Dallas Goldtooth) persuaded him to improve his home rather than abandon it. This first trailer hints that the ending of that personal growth is right around the corner.
“The path to healing is often found in opportunities to help others,” Spirit cryptically tells Bear.
Last season ended with these friends stranded in California. Season 3 will pick up as they figure out a way back home.

The Rez Dogs are heading back home for their final hurrah. FX has released the official trailer for the third and final season of “Reservation Dogs,” the acclaimed FX on Hulu dramedy series.
Created by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi, with Harjo serving as the series showrunner, “Reservation Dogs” focuses on four teenagers — Elora (Devery Jacobs), Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai), Cheese (Lane Factor), and Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis) — who were born and raised in a small Indigenous reservation in Oklahoma. The first two seasons of the show focused on the group’s quest to raise money to travel to California, a long-time dream of their dead friend, Daniel (Dalton Cramer). The Season 2 finale saw the crew finally succeed in their goal, making it to the beaches of Los Angeles and saying an emotional goodbye to Daniel.
Their move proves to be temporary, however, as the trailer for Season 3 opens with the foursome traveling back home.

A new trailer for the the third — and final — season of Reservation Dogs sees the group returning home after finally making it to California.
The critically acclaimed FX series from Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi centers on four Indigenous teens (Devery Jacobs, D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai, Paulina Alexis and Lane Factor) living in rural Oklahoma and dealing with the death of their friend, Daniel. After seeing out his dream to get to Cali, the Rez Dogs have to figure out how to make it back home. Bear (Woon-a-Tai) wanders the desert with Spirit (Dallas Goldtooth), while the rest of the group deals with the fallout of leaving the reservation.
Harjo announced in June that the 10-episode third season would be the series’ last. “I always knew what the end of this story would be, I just didn’t know when it would arrive,” Harjo said. “As we continued to break stories and write scripts this season,...

“Reservation Dogs” will end with its upcoming third season. The FX series airs on Hulu, with Season 3 set to debut on Aug. 3
Series creator Sterlin Harjo made the announcement on his Instagram. “Aho young and old warriors!” he wrote. “Here it is: the coming third season of ‘Reservation Dogs’ will be the final season.”
“That’s a difficult line to write and a more difficult decision to make,” he continued. “However, it’s the correct decision creatively for the show. I always knew what the end of this story would be, I just didn’t know when it would arrive. As we continued to break stories and write scripts this season, it became clear to the producers, Taika and me that the season three finale is the perfect series finale. When we came up with the idea for ‘Reservation Dogs,’ I didn’t think the show would ever get made,...

Spirits Rangers‘ little heroes will continue protecting California land — and now, water.
Netflix has renewed the history-making animated preschool series for a third season, which will expand on the season two finale’s water protectors storyline. Created by Karissa Valencia, Hollywood’s first California Native showrunner, Spirit Rangers debuted its first 10-episode run in 2020 before releasing a second season in May. Beyond its Native-led cast on and offscreen, the show also features TV’s first all-Indigenous writer’s room and more than 100 Native or Indigenous crew members from the U.S. and other parts of the globe.
The show follows Kodi, Summer and Eddy Skycedar, three Chumash and Cowlitz siblings who, after activating beaded necklaces, can portal and transform to a magical dimension. Once there, their “spirit” ranger forms — a grizzly bear cub, red-tailed hawk and a turtle — use elemental powers to protect their California National Park. The second season...

One of the truly universal human experiences is feeling the surreal. It's a feeling almost beyond explanation, a tingling at the back of your neck and the knowledge that something isn't quite right. It's uncomfortable and impossible to forget. It feels like there is a world just beyond our own that occasionally spills over, bringing the mystical and bizarre into our otherwise mundane existence. The act of simply living can feel surreal, especially if you're someone who has been marginalized because of their identity.
There's something deeply human about feeling trapped in a world you don't quite understand, and it translates across cultures and experiences — so it really shouldn't be surprising that some of the best shows on television are using the surreal to tell earnest, authentic stories about living just outside the margins. The FX series "Atlanta," now in its fourth and final season, uses Afrosurrealism to depict life...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Ghosts Season 2, Episode 4, “The Tree.”] Ghosts took a nature-focused path in its latest episode, “The Tree,” as Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) took it upon themselves to rescue a tree that was important to Sasappis (Román Zaragoza). The tree at the edge of their property was a worthy cause, but Sasappis wasn’t exactly honest about his desire to keep the tree rooted in place, claiming that markings on the bark represented the “13 dialects of the Lenape,” when in actuality, the carvings represented all of the times Sasappis’ crush Shiki said “hi” to him. The seemingly harmless fib turns into a big PR nightmare for the Woodstone B&b proprietors when Lenape representative Bob (Dallas Goldtooth) refutes Sam’s dialect explanation. Ultimately, Sas comes clean about his reason for the lie, but it isn’t enough to save the dying tree from being cut down by Sam and...

(Welcome to TV, Interrupted, a series where the /Film team remembers, eulogizes, and makes a case for the revival of TV shows we loved that were canceled far too soon.)
Often, the shows we cover here at TV, Interrupted have been off the air for quite a while. We're here for the Hannibals, the Wonderfalls, and even the Carnivàles. But every now and again, a fresh cancellation feels too acutely unfair to ignore, and some shows are worth celebrating -- and pitching to new networks -- before the dust has even settled. "Rutherford Falls" is one of these rare cases. News of the Peacock series' premature demise just broke on Friday, and while its cast and crew are still sharing their own statements about its ending, I'm already falling back into a rewatch of one of the most underrated comfort watches of the past few years.

"Rutherford Falls" has been cancelled. The Native American-led sitcom set in a fictional small town has aired two seasons at Peacock, but today TVLine reports it won't get a third. This is frankly heartbreaking news for anyone who was following the sweet, clever comedy, which is one of only a small handful of American TV shows ever made by and about Native American people. But all hope isn't lost, as series co-creator Sierra Teller Ornelas has shared her intention to find a new home for the series if possible.
The series was made by Ornelas, a Navajo writer and filmmaker, along with star Ed Helms and "Parks and Recreation" and "The Good Place" creator Michael Schur. Unfortunately, though, "Rutherford Falls" never seemed to have the visibility of Schur's other shows, and remained a hidden gem for its two-year run.

“Rutherford Falls” has been canceled at Peacock, Variety has learned.
The single-camera comedy series aired two seasons on the NBCUniversal streaming service. The first 10-episode first season aired in 2021, while the eight-episode second season aired in June 2022. The cast included Ed Helms, Jana Schmieding, Michael Greyeyes, Jesse Leigh and Dustin Milligan.
Per the official logline, the show follows “lifelong best friends, Nathan Rutherford (Helms) and Reagan Wells (Schmieding), who find themselves at a crossroads – quite literally – when their sleepy town gets an unexpected wakeup call.”
As the show begins, the town of Rutherford Falls decides to remove a statue of Nathan’s ancestor, which drives Nathan to begin a campaign to save it. But Reagan, a member of the fictional Minishonka Nation, campaigns against it, as his ancestor was known for attacks on her people during the founding of the town.

If, at its heart, “Reservation Dogs” is a story of about a group of young kids growing up and finding their way, the show’s rural Oklahoma setting is its soul. The specificity of the series’ humor and tone, its blend of the mythic and the mundane (embodied by Dallas Goldtooth’s warrior spirit with chill vibes), come through in all the ways the series captures being not just from but of this particular place. You can literally see it in how the camera captures particular details of the landscape or the wide shots of greenery intermingling with industrial decay.
But you can also hear it in how the show uses music. Certain tracks provide a sense of emotion and place that feel universally relatable, but are uniquely the show’s.
The series doesn’t have one sound. It is instead a glorious mishmash of rock, punk, country, protest anthems,...

The fourth episode of the new season of Reservation Dogs would seem extraordinary, if only it weren’t for all the other incredible episodes of Reservation Dogs.
The FX comedy (which streams exclusively on Hulu) follows a quartet of Native teens — would-be group leader Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai), actual group leader Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs), the taciturn Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis), and the agreeable Cheese (Lane Factor) — hanging around their reservation in rural Oklahoma while dreaming of escaping to a more glamorous life in California. The first season of the series,...

Part of what made “Reservation Dogs” one of the most exciting new shows of 2021 was the sense that anything could happen on the FX dramedy — a quality it shares with “Atlanta,” along with that series’ deceptively laidback sensibility and ability to establish a sense of place that goes beyond the geographical.
A storyline that might have seemed pleasantly aimless at first would veer into more urgent territory, and then loop back around to the amiable hijinks of the Rez Dogs themselves: Elora (Kawennáhere Devery Jacobs), Bear (D’Pharoah Woon-a-Tai), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis) and Cheese (Lane Factor). The mundane could turn to the surreal; the transcendent, downright goofy. This was a coming-of-age story like no other, except when it was — coursing with alienation, frustration and all the feelings that the concept of “home” stirs up. And at the center of it all was the palpable heartbreak felt by four longtime...

‘Reservation Dogs’ Review: Season 2 of Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi’s FX/Hulu Comedy Is a Triumph
Click here to read the full article.
Everybody loves multiverses these days, so allow me to imagine that there’s an alternate universe in which the first season of FX/Hulu’s Reservation Dogs is nominated for outstanding comedy series at the Emmys next month. In addition, Devery Jacobs is up for lead actress in a comedy; Zahn McClarnon, Gary Farmer and possibly Wes Studi are nominated in guest acting categories; and series creator Sterlin Harjo is nominated for directing the series pilot and possibly multiple times for writing.
In our primary universe, the one in which you’re probably reading this review, members of the TV Academy failed to notice that Reservation Dogs even exists, giving it zero nominations. That means that even casting director Angelique Midthunder, who scoured North America for the show’s impeccable ensemble, didn’t make the cut, which makes me actively angry.

There’s a desperate restlessness at the heart of the first, fantastic season of “Reservation Dogs.” Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi’s FX series, which premiered last August, kept a watchful eye out for the strange, and strangely beautiful, moments woven into each hazy day for four best friends reeling from the sudden death of their fifth. It took no time at all to understand Bear (D’Pharoah Woon-a-Tai), Elora (Devery Jacobs), Cheese (Lane Factor) and Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis), nor to slip into the show’s world where the banal could meet the surreal at any given moment.
The same holds true in Season 2, which opens just hours after Elora’s not only skipped town with laconic bully Jackie (Elva Guerra) and all their money, but has also left a furious, confused Bear behind. The implosion of the group’s California dream, seemingly the only thing keeping them going after such an inexplicable tragedy,...

Season 1 of Seminole Nation showrunner Sterlin Harjo’s “Reservation Dogs” won a Peabody Award for not only being one of the very, very few authentic depictions of Native Americans on TV but also for presenting their lives in rural Oklahoma with real-world specificity while maintaining the deadpan humor shared by the show’s executive producer, Taika Waititi. Over eight episodes, Elora, Bear, Cheese, and Willie did their best to deal with the suicide of their best friend Daniel (Dalton Cramer), ending with Elora deciding to leave for California — just like Daniel wanted — while Willie Jack believed that the friends are cursed.
“Reservation Dogs” is still a comedy in Season 2, but as the Dogs seek individual identities the show shifts to a more downbeat tone. The first four episodes made available to press present a rapid descent into sadness: Willie Jack blames it all on “bad medicine,” but that same bad...
