AMC Renews Lodge 49 For Season Two

AMC is booking another stay at Lodge 49. The cable network announced on Friday that the show has been renewed for a second season. The principal cast will return for the new season along with creator/writer/executive producer Jim Gavin and showrunner Peter Ocko. The show will return for new episodes on 2019.

Written and created by Gavin, Lodge 49 is a modern fable set in Long Beach and centered on Dud (Wyatt Russell), a likable ex-surfer who attempts to maintain his positive outlook on life while still reeling from the death of his father, the collapse of the family business, and any semblance of the idyllic middle-class life he knew. Dud finds himself deposited by fate at the doorstep of Lodge 49, home to the Ancient and Benevolent Order of the Lynx, a dusty dying fraternal order.

Dud finds solace in this dark, mysterious retreat, which offers cheap beer and strange alchemical philosophies. There he meets his mentor, Ernie Fontaine (Brent Jennings), a “Luminous Knight” of the Order, who sells plumbing supplies by day. Despite the constant pushback from his more skeptical, pragmatic twin sister, Liz (Sonya Cassidy), Dud and Ernie find themselves drawn by the Lodge into some long-buried secrets and his greatest fears and deepest hopes.
