The first season of \u201cReservation Dogs\u201d follows the adventures of a close-knit crew of four teens on a Native reservation in Oklahoma. Bear (D’Pharoah Woon-A-Tai), Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis) and Cheese (Lane Factor) have big dreams of leaving home and moving to California. But only Elora Danan decides to take the leap by the season’s end. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n At the start of the FX comedy’s second season, which premieres on Hulu Wednesday, the Res Dogs have gone their separate ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI think the bad version of a Season 2 is, like, everyone’s back together,\u201d the show’s co-creator and showrunner Sterlin Harjo told HuffPost Tuesday during a Television Critics Association panel. \u201cI didn’t want that. I wanted it to feel disjointed. I wanted it to feel not like Season 1 and not how we began Season 1. So, I felt like they needed to be in a different place altogether \u2014 individually, mentally and even physically.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n He explained having them figure out their identities independent of each other made for more interesting storylines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI needed something stylistically to feel different, which hopefully the first few episodes felt that way,\u201d Harjo said. \u201cAnd then, it was kind of like resetting this whole story again and giving them kind of a new journey to go on. So that was important for me to have them kind of be fractured because that’s where we ended.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The show has broken new ground as one of just a handful of major shows by and about Native people, with an all-Indigenous main cast, writers and directors. Jacobs, who is also a writer on the show, said the specificity of \u201cReservation Dogs\u201d is what creates its universality.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt’s so ingrained into the DNA of who we are and the stories that we tell. Like, this couldn’t happen anywhere else. This couldn’t. This couldn’t be from a different community,\u201d Jacobs said. \u201cComedy, when faced with marginalization \u2014 many communities can relate to that. But it’s with our brand of it, it’s our flavor of it, where we come from that made it such a special project.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
