Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Isabel May was cast as Elsa after Sheridan saw her self-tape; she had almost no prior credits. The entire production was built around her performance.
Sheridan hired Lakota, Comanche, and Crow consultants and actors to portray Indigenous nations with unprecedented specificity for television, though some critics noted the limited Indigenous perspective within the narrative itself.
