Lodge 49 was recently canceled by AMC after two seasons, but those behind the series are fighting to save the series and bring it back to the small screen. Paul Giamatti, Dan Carey, Jim Gavin and Peter Ocko are shopping the series to other networks, and many high profile names, including Tom Hanks, have taken to social media to help save the series.
Giamatti has sent emails out to several outlets that mention lack of promotion for the AMC series. Now, Giamatti and the rest of the Lodge 49 team is hoping to find a streaming home for the series.
Per the Los Angeles Times, Giamatti said the following about the search for a new home:
“Having a streaming situation would be nice for this show, because I think it really blossoms more for the viewer when you can watch it end-to-end. It seems like a rich thing that could fall in somebody’s lap.”
Season one of Lodge 49 currently airs on Hulu, and season two will be added to the streaming service at a later date. Hulu is one of the streaming services being courted to take on the series. Season two currently airs on AMC’s own streaming service, AMC Premiere.
Giamatti also talked about the cancellation of the series. He said that, “I’m distressed more at the larger sense that a show like this doesn’t have a place in the world. It’s absurd to me. There’s a place for this. In the larger landscape of TV, it fits in fine. There’s all kinds of weird things on. Fleabag is weird.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Lodge 49? Do you want to see the series return for season three on a new home?
I love this show. There has never been anything like it on TV before. I loved all the characters and the story line.
I’m really sad that AMC cancelled Lodge 49! It was one of my favorites!
Don’t let us down, someone renew the Lodge, it’s brilliant and fun!
THE most important thing is this: WHAT CAN FANS SPECIFICALLY DO TO HELP BRING “LODGE 49” BACK??!!
Lodge 49 is a beautiful show — optimistic, mysterious, funny, heart-wrenching. Season 2 set up so many genuinely interesting storylines, it would be a crime against art to not complete the series as envisioned by the creators. Please, please …if anyone is listening — bring back Lodge 49!
I LOVE Lodge 49! Please save it!
This series definitely needs to be renewed- the writing and acting are top notch – AND it really showcases my home town.
Lodge 49 is consistently hilarious, heartbreaking, and thought-provoking, not to mention the most creative and original series on television right now. The cast is incredible. I really can’t say enough good things about this show.
I hope another network or streaming service has the good sense to pick this show up and give it the love and attention it deserves.
