FX has set an October premiere date for season two of The Lowdown and offered up some details about the new story “truthstorian” Lee Raybon (Ethan Hawke) will be chasing. Not surpisingly, it’s complicated.
The series from Reservation Dogs showrunner Sterlin Harjo will premiere on Oct. 14 on FX and Hulu. The season will find Lee teaming with a public defender, played by Betty Gilpin, on a case while also dealing with complications in his own life, some of them self-inflicted.
Here’s the full description of the season from FX, which had previously kept details under wraps:
“Lee’s recent story on the life and untimely death of Dale Washberg (as seen in season one) earns him a local citizen journalist award. Unable to process things going well for a change, Lee self-medicates and, unsurprisingly, makes a less than stellar showing at the ceremony. But his wildly unfiltered speech grabs the attention of beautiful and brash public defender Ginger (Gilpin), herself a crusader for truth.
