Season 2 Of Ethan Hawke's The Lowdown Addressed By Creator After Emotional Finale
The future of The Lowdown remains uncertain, but creator Sterlin Harjo has shared some insight into what might come next. The FX series, starring Ethan Hawke, has impressed critics and viewers alike since its September debut, earning a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 44 strong reviews.
Hawke portrays Lee Raybon, a “truthstorian” determined to uncover corruption in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His pursuit for truth brings him into conflict with powerful figures. The show, a neo-noir follow-up to Harjo’s acclaimed Reservation Dogs, builds on the filmmaker’s reputation for exploring the complexity of life in Oklahoma.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter after the season finale, Harjo discussed possible directions for the story and revealed that he has considered multiple seasons. Although FX has yet to renew the series, the creator hinted at exploring more about the characters and relationships introduced in the first season.
“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.”
Fans continue to speculate whether The Lowdown will return, as its critical success and emotional depth have solidified it as one of FX’s standout dramas of the year.
