Lodge 49 producers think they have an edge in finding a new home because they have an endgame

“Both and Peter and I have our destinations in place. We can tell a complete story, the last two volumes of the novel. If we’re going to move, why not now?” says creator Jim Gavin, referring to showrunner Peter Ocko. Ocko adds that Lodge 49 needs to find a new home soon, before the actors' contracts expire. “That’s the ticking clock of it all, too," says Ocko. When we lose these actors — because their contracts don’t run forever — then the chance to make the show goes away,” Ocko said. “That’s the clock that we have echoing in our heads right now and it really would be a point of no return. We do feel the urgency.” Executive producer Paul Giamatti, meanwhile, has seen the devotion to the series firsthand -- even on Reddit. “I did a sort of dive into Reddit, which I’ve never done,” Giamatti says. “I encountered a group of people thinking so creatively and imaginatively about it and sharing a lot. They’re all doing all kinds of things of their own to keep the energy going. It’s infectious in a lot (of) ways.”
