The Lowdown on FX Season 2: Tommy Lee Jones Joins the Cast

The upcoming season of The Lowdown on FX is set to feature Tommy Lee Jones, an Academy Award-winning actor. Jones will be joining the cast of the show, with details about his role being kept under wraps for now. This addition comes after Betty Gilpin was previously announced as part of the cast, alongside returning star Ethan Hawke.

Season one of The Lowdown followed Lee Raybon, played by Hawke, a citizen journalist investigating corruption in Tulsa, Oklahoma, particularly focusing on the influential Washberg family. The first season featured a star-studded cast, including Kyle MacLachlan, Keith David, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and Peter Dinklage, among others. The show was renewed for a second season in January, with production scheduled to start in Tulsa in the spring.

The Lowdown is produced by FX Productions, with showrunner Sterlin Harjo serving as an executive producer alongside Garrett Basch, Ethan Hawke, and others. For Jones, this project marks his return to television after nearly a decade since his last TV work in HBO's The Sunset Limited. Known for his acclaimed performances in films like The Fugitive, Jones has also starred in recent projects such as The Burial and Ad Astra.

Jones' notable television work includes the Emmy-nominated miniseries Lonesome Dove, where he starred alongside Robert Duvall. With his impressive acting credentials and experience, Jones is sure to bring a compelling presence to The Lowdown. Stay tuned for more updates on the show as production for season two gets underway.
