Jordan Peele Making a Black Cowboy Series That Pledges to Rewrite Wild West History
Oscar-winning filmmaker Jordan Peele is making a documentary series that promises to overturn the public perception of the Old West.
The Get Out writer-director will executive produce a project for Peacock “which dismantles the whitewashed mythology of the cowboy” and expand on themes explored in his 2022 thriller Nope (which is also streaming on Peacock).
Keith McQuirter (By Whatever Means Necessary: The Times of Godfather of Harlem) is attached as showrunner, executive producer and director
The official description: “The untitled Black cowboy docuseries will rewrite a foundational piece of American history, unmasking the forces that erased the identity of the Black cowboy from frontier history and present. Stories of real cowboys will take viewers on a thrilling odyssey that connects to the heart of the resurgence of Black cowboy culture that we see today across music, art, fashion and film in a three-part series to premiere on Peacock.”
