“Now and again, he gets in over his head..." FX has unveiled an official trailer for a streaming series called The Lowdown, a Tulsa, Oklahoma thriller about a journalist who digs too deep into the underbelly of a dangerous local family.


Created by filmmaker Sterlin Harjo of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma.



Ethan Hawke stars as Lee Raybon. It follows the gritty exploits of citizen journalist Lee, a self-proclaimed Tulsa "truthstorian" whose obsession with the truth is always getting him into trouble... A determined bookstore owner in Tulsa moonlights as an investigative journalist, digging into local corruption.



When his reporting uncovers sinister connections within, he must protect both his family and the truth.


Lee has also gained the attention of a mysterious stranger who seems to appear whenever Lee least expects it: refined and suave, Marty shares Lee's appreciation of great literary minds, and seems unusually interested in his investigation into the Washbergs.



The ensemble features Keith David, Kyle MacLachlan, Kaniehtiio Horn, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Scott Shepherd, Siena East, Cody Lightning, Michael "Killer Mike" Render, Tim Blake Nelson, and Tracy Letts. Aside from the recent series "Tulsa King" also set in Tulsa, this also reminds me of the "Fargo" series. Though this looks much funnier than those two.

Here's the main official trailer (+ poster) for FX's thriller series The Lowdown, direct from YouTube:



—//

Lee (Ethan Hawke) lives and works in a rare bookstore tucked in the heart of Tulsa – a local refuge and unofficial community hub.


While no idealist, he's fiercely committed to exposing corruption & unearthing the city's hidden rot, even when it puts him at risk.


His sleuthing pulls him deep into Tulsa's underbelly – and often away from his 14-year-old daughter Francis (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), a precocious kid who's inherited his curiosity and longs to join him.


His ex Samantha (Kaniehtiio Horn) is exasperated by Lee's endless digging, but still sees the good in him – especially when it comes to Francis, the one thing they've never stopped showing up for.


When the publication of his latest exposé – a deep dive into the powerful Washberg family – is immediately followed by the suspicious death of Dale Washberg (Tim Blake Nelson), the black sheep of the family, Lee knows he's stumbled onto something big.


Following the trailer that Dale has left behind, urging someone to dig deeper into the circumstances surrounding his death, Lee does just that.


And what Lee discovers is that Betty Jo (Jeanne Tripplehorn), the grieving widow, seems to be more interested in her brother-in-law Donald Washberg (Kyle MacLachlan), a gubernatorial candidate, than in her dearly departed.



And powerful forces want to prevent Lee from learning anything more about them...

The Lowdown is a series created by Native American writer / director Sterlin Harjo (Seminole Nation of Oklahoma), director of the indie films Mekko and Love and Fury previously, plus episodes of the "Reservoir Dogs" FX series recently.



With writing by Duffy Boudreau, Sterlin Harjo, Sneha Koorse, Olivia Purnell, Scott Teems.


And featuring episodes directed by Sterlin Harjo, Macon Blair, Danis Goulet.



It's produced by FX Productions. Executive produced by Garrett Basch, Sterlin Harjo, Ethan Hawke, Ryan Hawke.


FX will debut The Lowdown series streaming on Hulu starting on September 23rd, 2025 coming soon.



Look any good?
