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 finds himself on the doorstep of a rundown fraternal lodge where a middle-aged plumbing salesman and "Luminous Knight" of the order, Ernie (Brent 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.
Season two finds Dud's beloved fraternal order -- the Ancient and Benevolent Order of the Lynx -- suffering under new rule by an ill-suited leader. Despite his “Knight” and mentor Ernie’s lost faith, and his twin sister Liz’s struggle with their past, Dud believes he is the key to restoring the Lodge to its former grandeur and putting the rightful king on the throne.
"A sweetly humane portrait of community, alive with strangeness…the possibility of better days ahead.”—Entertainment Weekly
“It’s hard not to root for a series like Lodge 49…partly because it’s shot full of the kind of optimism and whimsy you rarely see”—The Hollywood Reporter
