The sophomore run centers on Tulsa citizen Lee Raybon as he travels through dangerous territory alongside public defender Ginger Rafferty. Domestic tensions match the investigative risks when Lee’s estranged father, Lee “Frog” Raybon Sr., returns to Tulsa after nearly two decades, exposing the long-held secret that Lee told his daughter Francis her grandfather had passed away.
Costar Ryan Kiera Armstrong praised Ethan Hawke’s performance in an interview with WTHR, remarking, “Working with him has just been a dream, and he is just a legend. Not only is he such a great person, he’s just so good”.
Directed by Rafael Casal from a script by Olivia Purnell, the upcoming episode temporarily pulls Lee away from active surveillance for a road trip beyond city limits with his father. As the two men confront old grievances, back in Tulsa, Ginger faces mounting pressure as corrupt deputies attempt to suppress evidence regarding a missing prisoner.
Showrunner Sterlin Harjo discussed the cast’s dynamic in an interview with TV Insider, noting, “You can feel that magic happening outside of the words, outside of what you’re seeing as you feel it”.
Having debuted with a two-episode premiere on October 14, 2026, the eight-episode season enters its final stretch with episode six before concluding with the season finale on November 25, 2026.
