Indigenous broadcaster APTN announced Tuesday the premiere dates for its fall programming, which includes returning favourites and the Canadian linear TV premiere of FX’s comedy series Reservation Dogs.
Heartfelt series returning this autumn include Wild Rose Vets (Season 2), which premieres on APTN in English on Sept. 1 and on the APTN Languages channel in Cree on Sept. 3, with same-day streaming on APTN lumi. In addition, the third season of documentary series Little Big Community will premiere on APTN in English on Sept. 1 and will be available to stream the same day on APTN lumi.
On Sept. 2, APTN will present the Canadian linear TV debut of the first season of Reservation Dogs, a 2021-2023 half-hour comedy series from FX that previously could only be streamed in Canada on services such as Bell’s Crave, Disney+ and CBC Gem.
