FX's hit comedy Reservation Dogs, which continues to gain critical acclaim and fans in its first season, has been renewed for a second season. The second season of Reservation Dogs is expected to premiere in 2022, exclusively on FX on Hulu. The first season of Reservation Dogs currently enjoys a 100% Certified Fresh ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and has earned Universal Acclaim on Metacritic. Season one continues on FX on Hulu with the latest episode premiering yesterday on Monday, September 6 with episode six, "Hunting": Willie Jack and Leon go hunting. Written and Directed by Sterlin Harjo. The season one finale is slated for September 20.

A breakthrough in Indigenous representation on television both in front of and behind the camera, every writer, director and series regular on the show is Indigenous.
