Peacock has set Thursday, Nov. 20 for the premiere of Jordan Peele‘s new documentary, High Horse: The Black Cowboy, inspired by his movie Nope. The streamer also released the first trailer, which you can view above.
Produced by Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions, the docu dismantles the whitewashed mythology of the cowboy.
Per the logline, the “three-part pop culture and historical documentary confronts and reclaims the Wild West while revealing the story of the Black cowboy — a history that has largely been untold.”
“I’m grateful to Monkeypaw for amplifying the powerful voices and long-standing culture of Black Cowboys and Cowgirls through High Horse: The Black Cowboy, on Peacock,” said Peele. “Their history is inseparable from the story of our country — and this project aims to honor and celebrate their lasting legacy.”
