Ahead of the episode’s premiere tonight, AMC has given ComingSoon an exclusive clip of their new dramedy series Lodge 49, which airs Mondays after Better Call Saul. Check it out in the player below!
Titled “Corpus,” the episode is described as follows: “Liz and Dud hold a memorial for their father, while Ernie and Connie finally get a weekend alone together.” This episode is written by Jim Gavin and directed by Jake Schreier.
Lodge 49 is a light-hearted, endearing modern fable set in Long Beach, California about a disarmingly optimistic local ex-surfer, Dud (Wyatt Russell), who’s drifting after the death of his father and collapse of the family business. Dud serendipitously finds himself on the doorstep of a rundown fraternal lodge, where a middle-aged plumbing salesman and “Luminous Knight” of the order, Ernie (Jennings), welcomes him into a world of cheap beer, easy camaraderie and the promise of Alchemical mysteries that may – or may not – put Dud on the path to recover the idyllic life he’s lost.
Jim Gavin (Author, Middle Men) serves as creator, writer, and executive-producer alongside showrunner Peter Ocko (Pushing Daisies, The Office). Additional executive producers include Paul Giamatti, Dan Carey (Outsiders, Hoke, John Dies at the End) and Jeff Freilich (Halt and Catch Fire, Grace and Frankie).
