Season 2 of Ethan Hawke's The Lowdown Discussed by Creator After Emotional Finale
"I’ve thought about many seasons of this show," says Sterlin Harjo, creator of The Lowdown. The series, which premiered on FX in September and is available on Hulu, stars four-time Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke as Lee Raybon, a self-described truthstorian dedicated to exposing corruption in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This commitment places him in conflict with powerful figures.
The neo-noir drama is Harjo's follow-up to FX's Emmy-nominated Reservation Dogs. Both series have earned widespread praise, with The Lowdown holding a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 44 positive reviews and one negative.
Following the season 1 finale, questions arose about the possibility of a second season. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Harjo, who is also an executive producer, shared his thoughts on the show's future. While FX has not yet confirmed a renewal, Harjo hinted at exploring more stories centered on breakout supporting characters and delving deeper into Oklahoma's dynamics.
"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."
Harjo’s remarks suggest a strong interest in continuing the narrative and expanding the story world of The Lowdown.
Summary: Creator Sterlin Harjo expresses strong interest in continuing The Lowdown beyond season 1, focusing on deeper character relationships and Oklahoma’s story, despite no official renewal yet.
