Sadly, showrunner Sterlin Harjo has revealed that the FX series Reservation Dogs is going to end with its upcoming third season, which will premiere in August. In a heartfelt message on Instagram, he take the time to share what it was like working on the show and that he already knew what the ending would be ahead of time for the iconic series that premieres on Hulu.
That’s a difficult line to write and a more difficult decision to make. 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, but thankfully it did.

The Hulu series was created by Harjo and Taika Waititi. It follows the story of four Indigenous teenagers in Oklahoma, who ended up taking on a dangerous lifestyle after the death of their fifth member. The show has a talented cast that was led by Devery Jacobs, Paulina Alexis, Lane Factor, and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai. It’s a shame to see a great show end but perhaps Harjo has some exciting new Indigenous stories to tell in his future.
