FX has announced that they are renewing the series The Lowdown for a second season. Sterlin Harjo’s acclaimed drama, starring Ethan Hawke, follows the gritty exploits of citizen journalist and self-proclaimed “truthstorian” Lee Raybon.
Keith David also starred in Season 1 along with featured guest stars Kyle MacLachlan, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Tim Blake Nelson, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Michael “Killer Mike” Render, Kaniehtiio Horn, Tracy Letts, Peter Dinklage and the late Graham Greene.
In the first season, Hawke’s Lee Raybon’s obsession with the truth is always getting him into trouble. While Lee’s no idealist, he’s fiercely committed to exposing corruption and unearthing the city’s hidden rot, even when it puts him at risk. In season one, the publication of Lee’s latest exposé – a deep dive into the powerful Washberg family – is immediately followed by the suspicious suicide of Dale Washberg, and Lee knows he’s stumbled onto something big. Following a trail of breadcrumbs Dale has left behind, urging someone to dig deeper into the circumstances surrounding his death, Lee does just that.
Production on season 2 will begin in Tulsa this spring.
