The series reunites creator Sterlin Harjo with FX after the acclaimed Reservation Dogs, and like that show it is set and shot in Oklahoma, continuing Harjo's mission to put the state's overlooked communities and history at the center of prestige television.
Ethan Hawke's character is loosely modeled on the real Tulsa historian and activist Lee Roy Chapman, who was known for unearthing uncomfortable truths about the city's past, including work that helped renew national attention on the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
The premiere includes a cameo tied to Harjo's Reservation Dogs world, an Easter egg for fans that the creator has spoken about, underscoring the connected sensibility running through his Oklahoma-set stories even as The Lowdown stands entirely on its own.
The Lowdown is an FX drama series created by Sterlin Harjo, the co-creator of the beloved Reservation Dogs, marking his return to television with another richly regional story rooted in his home state of Oklahoma. Premiering in September 2025 and streaming on Hulu, it blends noir mystery, shaggy comedy, and social conscience into a distinctly Tulsa-flavored character study.
Ethan Hawke stars as Lee Raybon, a self-styled truthstorian, an obsessive amateur historian, rare-book dealer, and gadfly journalist who cannot stop digging into the buried secrets of his city. When his investigation into a prominent local family's death pulls him into a web of corruption, old money, and long-suppressed history, Lee's compulsive truth-telling puts him and those around him in real danger. The character is loosely inspired by the late real-life Tulsa historian and activist Lee Roy Chapman, grounding the series in genuine local lore.
Critics embraced the show as a warm, idiosyncratic showcase for Hawke and for Harjo's deep affection for Oklahoma's people and contradictions, praising its blend of mystery-of-the-week momentum and lived-in regional texture. Like Reservation Dogs before it, The Lowdown finds the universal in the specific. It streams on Hulu.
