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.

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.”
