Meanwhile, new series additions include Tommy Lee Jones, Betty Gilpin, Austin Amelio, Martha Plimpton, and Clifton Collins Jr.

What is The Lowdown Season 2 about?

As fans will recall, Season 1 of The Lowdown followed Lee’s quest to uncover the truth behind the mysterious death of Dale Washberg (Tim Blake Nelson). And Season 2 is setting its sights on an all-new mystery which sees Lee connect with public defender Ginger (Gilpin), who seeks help when one of her clients goes MIA from the state penitentiary.

Meanwhile, Season 2 sees Marty (David) put in charge of the Heartland Press as managing editor, and things get complicated when Lee’s father (Jones) resurfaces in his life after he told his daughter Francis (Armstrong) that he’d died years ago. Needless to say, there’s never a dull moment to be had.

 

What has been said about The Lowdown Season 2?

When TV Insider caught up with Harjo amid Season 1’s run, he shared plans for the show’s future, explaining, “We see this going on for a few more seasons, hopefully, with luck, and everyone puts it out there and loves it. But yeah, it’ll keep going and, I think that each season would be its own chapter, which this chapter is ‘The Sensitive Kind.’”

Hawke echoed, “Yeah, the dream was to create something that has a satisfying beginning, middle, and end. So when you watch this series, you’ve been told a good tale, and it’s propulsive enough [that you] can’t wait to see what’s next.”

Who made The Lowdown Season 2?

The Lowdown was created for television by writer and director Sterlin Harjo, who executive produces the series with Garrett Basch, Ethan Hawke, Ryan Hawke, Duffy Boudreau, and Scott Teems.

    Harjo is a brilliant storyteller. Season One was brilliant and I'm looking forward to Season Two, especially since there'll be more Rez Dogs!

    Would love to see a season 2 of The Lowdown, definitely one of the better and more original shows I've seen in some time, masterful storytelling. I've been meaning to check out Reservation Dogs for a while now and I'm definitely going to do that very soon.

    We loved Lowdown very different from the usual but really enjoyable. It must be continued too many cliffhangers left unsolved. Really need season two! It’s a show both my husband and I can enjoy.
