According to The Hollywood Reporter, the FX and Hulu series Reservation Dogs from creators Stelrin Harjo (Mekko) and Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit) will be coming to an end with its upcoming third season. Harjo made the announcement Thursday on his Instagram account, stating, “correct decision creatively for the show.” The series was renewed for a third season back in September. The 10-episode season will serve as the final season for the series and is scheduled to premiere on August 2nd.
“I always knew what the end of this story would be, I just didn’t know when it would arrive,” Harjo wrote in one of his Instagram posts. “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.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, an FX spokesman had a great deal of praise for the series stating that “People throw around the words historic and groundbreaking far too often and without merit: Reservation Dogs is worthy of those superlatives. Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi created one of the most important TV shows ever made. They gave the world a wholly unique, original, and honest portrayal of Native people—one that has never before been seen in television or film.”
The spokesman continued, “We, along with our partners at Hulu, are forever grateful to the producers, writers, directors, cast, crew, and the Native land and communities in eastern Oklahoma who collaborated to make this masterpiece. While we’re sad to see the show come to an end, we’re excited for Sterlin, Taika, and Garrett Basch to continue to tell stories for FX. And Rez Dogs fans, we hope you share our excitement and anticipation for the coming season.”
The third and final season of Reservation Dogs premieres on August 2nd.
