Season 2 of Ethan Hawke's The Lowdown Discussed by Creator After Emotional Finale
The outlook for the second season of The Lowdown received a candid response from creator Sterlin Harjo. The show, which debuted on FX in September and streams on Hulu, stars four-time Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke as Lee Raybon, a self-described "truthstorian" dedicated to exposing corruption in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This pursuit places him at odds with powerful forces.
The neo-noir series is Harjo's follow-up to FX's Emmy-nominated Reservation Dogs, and both series have been highly praised. The Lowdown currently holds a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 44 positive reviews and just one negative.
Following the season 1 finale, rumors about a possible continuation arose. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Harjo shared his thoughts on the future of the series. While FX has not confirmed renewal, the creator and executive producer stated:
“I mean, I’ve thought about many seasons of this show. I’ve thought about other projects — there was always an idea of going deeper into Oklahoma and some of these relationships that Lee has made in the first season. And you look at your show and see how people are responding.”
Potential Season 2 Focus
Harjo hinted that season 2 could highlight some of the breakout supporting characters and explore deeper storylines connected to Oklahoma and Lee’s relationships developed during the first season.
