What sets
Rutherford Falls apart from the other sitcoms in the Michael Schur universe is the Indigenous talent who fill important roles in front of the camera and behind the scenes. From the talented actors Michael Greyeyes and Jana Schmeiding to the musical contributions of the Halluci Nation and a variety of Native creatives in the writer’s room, this new Peacock show is authentic in even its most intricate details.
After rewatching the first season I talked with Sierra Teller Ornelas the Navajo and Mexican American co-creator, executive producer, and showrunner of
Rutherford Falls about the process of creating a fictional world that captures the reality of the Native experience and the messiness of being human.
