93 Reservation Dogs: Season 2

Season 2 debuts August 3 on Hulu

No longer an under-the-radar surprise, the FX-produced comedy with an all-Indigenous cast (and writing/directing staff) returns for its second season as one of TV's best shows, thanks to widespread acclaim for last year's debut run. Expect that acclaim to continue: Early reviews for the second season suggest that the series is as good as ever, even if, as IndieWire's Kristen Lopez suggests, the comedy takes on "a more downbeat tone" in the first half of the season. Two episodes stream on August 3rd, followed by weekly installments.
