Rutherford Falls
Rutherford Falls is an American sitcom television series that premiered on the streaming service Peacock on April 22, 2021. It was created by Ed Helms, Michael Schur, and Sierra Teller Ornelas. In July 2021, the series was renewed for a second season, which was released on June 16, 2022.
In September 2022, the series was canceled after two seasons.
The series is a comedy about two lifelong friends and fellow museum curators, Nathan Rutherford (Ed Helms) and Reagan Wells (Jana Schmieding), whose relationship is tested when a crisis hits their fictional small town. After the mayor decides to move a statue of Nathan's ancestor (the town founder) because drivers keep hitting it, Nathan embarks on a quixotic campaign to keep the statue in place.
Reagan has to juggle loyalty to her friend and to her people, the Minishonka Nation. She wants to develop a cultural center to highlight their history, and Nathan's ancestor is notorious for having driven her people from their ancestral land centuries earlier.
Terry Thomas (Michael Greyeyes) is the CEO of the casino that provides most of the Minishonka Nation's finances; a natural-born schemer, he seeks to use Reagan and others as pawns in his desire to gain more political and financial power for his tribe.
The show uses humor, jokes, and irony to highlight the biases that are present in today's society surrounding Native Americans. The show uses a marginalized community and a white community to compare and contrast society's view on their heritage and preservation throughout its entirety. While hard-hitting topics are presented throughout the show, an overarching sense of comedy, irony, and light-heartedness is evident from the beginning.
“[T]here’s very specific ways that Native people relate to the towns around them and they’re fraught. It’s complicated and complex and it involves commerce and culture. Part of the project of this show is to get really detailed and explain to people who don’t know anything how these relationships exist between towns and their neighbouring reservations. It’s very important for us to get very specific and explain how that stuff works.”
The series was created by Ed Helms, Michael Schur, and Sierra Teller Ornelas. The initial idea came from discussions between Helms and Schur (who had previously worked together on The Office), and once they had decided on a Native American theme, they asked Ornelas to get involved and serve as showrunner. Schur had worked with her previously on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
