EW Spotlights New Season 2 Teasers; IndieWire on Lodge Trailer
This week, Entertainment Weekly spotlights a few Season 2 teasers, while IndieWire checks out a new trailer. Plus, Paste highly recommends watching Season 2. Read on for more:
• Entertainment Weekly spotlights Lodge 49's new teasers from Season 2, which "finds the titular fraternal order — the Ancient and Benevolent Order of the Lynx — suffering under new rule by an ill-suited leader. That’s bad news for our sort-of hero, Wyatt Russell’s ex-surfer Sean 'Dud' Dudley."
• IndieWire checks out a new Season 2 trailer for Lodge 49: "Part family drama, part metaphysical journey through distant reaches of Southern California, part bureaucracy-based mystery, the AMC show is unapologetically its own."
• Paste advises watching Season 2, calling the series "unusual in a number of ways... but its relaxed atmosphere, central mystery (or whether there is, in fact, a mystery about the lodge) and spiritual self-examination, as well as an outstanding cast, make Lodge 49 an unexpected delight."
• The Beverly Hills Courier reports that the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills will screen Lodge 49's Season 2 Premiere on Aug. 1.
• A.V. Club also watches the trailer, observing, "Quirky, offbeat comedies like Lodge 49 — one of our favorite shows of 2018 — feel like a rarity in this era of Serious TV, so we were pleased when AMC renewed its near-mystical story of landlocked surfer Dud (the wonderful Wyatt Russell) for a second season last year."
• Entertainment Weekly observes that "the new season also features a satisfying portion of Up in Smoke star and all-around comedy legend Cheech Marin. Plus? Donuts!"
• Screen Rant believes the new trailer suggests that Lodge 49 — "a charming summer watch that delivered a fascinating blend of low-key hang-out vibes, grief, and just a hint of mystery" —"will still be as strange and delightful as ever" in Season 2.
