NBCUniversal’s U.S. streaming service Peacock has licensed all five seasons of the half-hour comedy Mohawk Girls.

The Rezolution Pictures-produced series, which ran on APTN between 2014 and 2017, landed on the streaming platform earlier this month.

Co-created and executive produced by Tracey Deer and Cynthia Knight, the series takes a comedic look at the lives of four modern-day women trying to stay true to their roots while navigating sex, work, love and what it means to be Mohawk in the 21st century. Deer also directed the series, while Knight served as head writer and showrunner. The series was nominated for 10 Canadian Screen Awards in the acting, writing, directing and overall best comedy categories.

The acquisition comes as Peacock adds more modern Indigenous stories to its platform, including Rutherford Falls and Reservation Dogs.

News of the deal comes less than a week after the theatrical release of Deer’s feature film Beans, which tell of the director’s experiences as a 12-year-old Mohawk girl who had to grow up fast during the Oka Crisis in the summer of 1990. The film had its world premiere at TIFF 2020 and is distributed in Canada by Mongrel Media.

The deal also comes 16 years after Deer’s documentary Mohawk Girls, upon which the TV series is based, was released. The doc project explores the experiences of adolescent girls growing up on the Mohawk reserve of Kahnawake.

The scripted adaptation stars Jenny Pudavick, Brittany LeBorgne, Heather White and Maika Harper, in addition to Tantoo Cardinal and Glen Gould.

Peacock  today (July 29) revealed that it has reached 54 million sign-ups in the U.S., and plans to expand into Europe later this year.
