Elkhorn is an upcoming American television drama series, chronicling the early life of Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States. Roosevelt became a cowboy and rancher in the American Frontier in his mid-20s, before returning east to become the country's youngest President.[1]
The first season of Elkhorn is set to air on INSP in April 2024.[2][3]
Premise[edit]
Theodore Roosevelt, born into a wealthy New York family, traveled to the Wild West to hunt bison following the death of both his wife and mother. His love for the American frontier was well documented, but rarely covered.[4] The dramatized series follows Roosevelt's life in the Dakota Territory, and the establishment of Elkhorn Ranch.[5]
The series tells the story of how he became known as "The Cowboy President". It follows the day-to-day trials and tribulations of Roosevelt as he encounters thieves, hired guns, native wildlife such as grizzly bears, and the need for law and order in the Bad Lands.[5]
Release[edit]
Filming for the first season of Elkhorn was announced in 2023.[6] The first episode is set to air April 11, 2024, on INSP.[7][3]
