AMC canceled the acclaimed, offbeat 'Lodge 49' after two low-rated seasons. The team behind the series believes the right outlet could make it a hit.
Though the “Lodge 49" team declined to name specific outlets, Ocko confirmed that they are shopping the series to cable and streaming platforms — not broadcast networks — though the emphasis appears to be on the last of these.
Of course, streaming has extended the window that networks and platforms use to measure viewership and make programming decisions, and the addition of Hulu data may draw a different picture of the audience for “Lodge 49.” Indeed, given that Hulu already holds the streaming rights and has previously picked up canceled comedies “The Mindy Project” and “Please Like Me,” it would seem to be “Lodge 49’s” best bet for a reprieve.
“We really were lucky to make a Season 2, because Season 1 ratings were not great,” Ocko said, noting that the wave of interest in “Lodge 49" crested too late to save it at AMC. “When we came back [for] Season 2, we were really counting on word-of-mouth spreading, helping the Hulu numbers, and certainly the critical response creating an awareness. And it happened. It just happened very slowly.
