Elkhorn Series Premiere, April 11, 2024, INSP, “The Greenhorn”
Elkhorn, a new historical drama series, premieres on INSP with “The Greenhorn,” offering viewers a glimpse into the early life of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States.
In the pilot episode, “The Greenhorn,” airing on INSP on Thursday April 11, viewers are introduced to a 25-year-old Theodore Roosevelt, reeling from a personal tragedy. Roosevelt, born into a wealthy New York family, abandons his political career and the comforts of elite society to seek a new beginning in the wild and lawless Dakota Badlands. He sets out to establish the Elkhorn Ranch and remake himself into a cattleman.
The series chronicles Roosevelt’s transformation from a grieving widower to the iconic “Cowboy President.” In this first episode, Roosevelt encounters doubters and killers as he navigates the challenges of ranch life. The “Greenhorn” refers not only to Roosevelt’s inexperience in the frontier but also to his personal journey of growth and self-discovery.
The episode sets the tone for the rest of the season, which explores Roosevelt’s struggles and triumphs during his first months in the Badlands. Overcoming adversity, he disarms a barroom bully, confronts hired guns, tracks down horse thieves, and kills a grizzly bear. Along the way, he forms lifelong friendships and shapes his legacy as a cowboy, politician, and military leader.
Elkhorn provides a unique perspective on Roosevelt’s early years, showcasing his resilience and determination in the face of loss. It offers a blend of history and drama, shedding light on a lesser-known chapter of Roosevelt’s life before he rose to prominence on the world stage.
The series premiere of Elkhorn airs on INSP at 9.00 pm on Thursday, April 11, 2024.
