Jordan Peele's High Horse: Reframing the Black Cowboy Myth & Producing Hit Horror Flicks

Jordan Peele BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

According to the Associated Press, the biggest Jordan Peele development of the past few days is the rollout of High Horse The Black Cowboy, a three part documentary series he executive produced through Monkeypaw Productions, now streaming on Peacock. AP describes the series as an extension of his 2022 film Nope, reframing the American cowboy myth by centering Black cowboys and the racist erasure of their history, with on camera appearances from Peele himself alongside Glynn Turman, Pam Grier, Tina Knowles and Rick Ross. The Urban News likewise spotlights High Horse as part of a broader cultural moment around Black western imagery, underscoring its long term biographical significance for Peele as a filmmaker using genre and nonfiction to correct erasure rather than just scare audiences.

On the fiction front, ABC News reports that Him, a football themed horror thriller produced by Jordan Peele, is debuting on Peacock this week after an underwhelming theatrical run. The film, starring Tyriq Withers and Marlon Wayans, is being pitched by AP television critics as a notable new home viewing option, cementing Peele’s growing track record as a producer of other directors genre work, even when the box office story is less than stellar. Creepy Catalog notes that Him struggled theatrically but is now available digitally, inviting horror fans to reassess it outside the numbers.

Industry news continues to position Peele as a power broker. Vitrina AI, summarizing reporting originally from trade outlets like Slashfilm, says Jordan Peele and Sam Raimi are teaming up to produce a feature adaptation of the viral short Portrait of God for Universal, with Dylan Clark directing and Raimi’s Ghost House and Peele’s Monkeypaw partnering for the first time. That deal, reportedly won in a competitive bidding situation, is being treated as a major horror world headline with obvious long term weight for Peele’s producing résumé.

On the exhibition side, TNT Africa is currently promoting a December programming block called The Discomfort Zone, marketing a prime time lineup built around three Jordan Peele directed films, a reminder that Get Out, Us and Nope are already being packaged as a coherent auteur brand for international audiences.

There are no credible reports in major outlets of new public controversies, viral social media blowups, or surprise personal life revelations for Peele in the same period; anything suggesting otherwise appears speculative and is not verified by mainstream news coverage.
