AMC Renews 'Lodge 49'

AMC announced today that Lodge 49 has been picked up for a second season. The good news comes just days ahead of the dramedy's freshman finale, which airs this Monday.
The hour-long series premiered in August for a 10-episode run that has garnered plenty of critical acclaim for its mix of light-hearted humor and satisfying storytelling.

Season 2 would still happen though, as the show received an early renewal three months ahead of its series debut. But with Cinemax keeping its already-produced second season off the air in 2017, the writing was already on the wall that Season 3 was not to be.
Outcast followed a young man who has suffered from possessions for as long as he can remember. As an adult, he sets out on a journey looking for answers but what he discovers could potentially mean the end of life on Earth.
