Press Release via INSP:

 

Critically Acclaimed Western Drama

 Depicting Theodore Roosevelt’s

 Early Life as a Cowboy

 Returns October 2nd at 9PM ET.

(Indian Land, SC â€" June 26, 2025) â€" INSP EVP of Programming, Doug Butts, today announced that the highly anticipated 2nd season of INSP’s original Western drama, ELKHORN, will premiere on Thursday, October 2nd at 9PM ET. The widely acclaimed series portrays the formative years of America’s 26th President, Theodore Roosevelt, as a true Cowboy in the Dakotas.

“The first season of Elkhorn introduced audiences to a young Theodore Roosevelt.” said Craig Miller, VP of Original Programming at INSP. “Fresh from personal tragedy and political disillusionment, he sought refuge and purpose in the rugged Dakota Badlands. In season 2, our story picks up with a more seasoned Roosevelt who is no less driven but continuously plagued by mounting tensions in the territoryâ€"and within his own ranch.”

Miller continued, “as Roosevelt faces new adversaries and unresolved grief, ELKHORN deepens its exploration of the man who would become known as the cowboy president.” He added “we all know the legend, now viewers can witness the making of the man.”

Executive Producer Gary Tarpinian stated “in light of the critical reception and audience engagement the series received in season 1, we are excited and proud of how the next season provides more layers to Roosevelt’s journey. The cast are incredible to work with, embodying these historical figures with authenticity and passion. We are honored to continue telling this remarkable story.”

Shot with cinematic production values and historically inspired detail, ELKHORN positions itself at the intersection of a traditional Western and a biographical dramaâ€"blending action, frontier diplomacy, and personal transformation. Mason Beals, series lead, was awarded “Best Actor” in the Cowboys & Indians 2025 Movie & TV Awards for his portrayal of Roosevelt. Additionally, ELKHORN won “Best Western TV Series” against such august competition as Landman and Yellowstone!

The series joins INSP’s growing slate of original scripted programming aimed at audiences hungry for classic storytelling with contemporary depth, redefining the American Western for a new generation - including BLUE RIDGE (starring Johnathon Schaech, THAT THING YOU DO!), as well as the historical docudrama series, WILD WEST CHRONICLES.
