The Lowdown starring Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon, Black Phone 2) has been renewed by FX for a second season. The first season, which premiered in September, made it onto the AFI Awards’ list of the 10 best series of 2025. And season one currently sits at a 98% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
In addition to Hawke, season one starred Keith David. Guest stars included Kyle MacLachlan, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Tim Blake Nelson, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Michael “Killer Mike” Render, Kaniehtiio Horn, Tracy Letts, and Peter Dinklage. Graham Greene, who passed away in September 2025, also appeared in a guest-starring role.
“The Lowdown follows the gritty exploits of citizen journalist Lee Raybon (Hawke), a self-proclaimed Tulsa “truthstorian” whose 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,” reads FX’s synopsis. “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.”
Filming is expected to get underway in Tulsa this spring on season two.
Sterlin Harjo created the series and serves as an executive producer with Ethan Hawke, Ryan Hawke, Garrett Basch, and Duffy Boudreau.
