Filmmaker Sterlin Harjo had a widely acclaimed hit on his hands with Reservation Dogs, which ran for three seasons on FX from 2021 to 2023. Then, he set his sights on The Sensitive Kind, which is set to premiere soon, also on FX, and which has since been renamed to The Lowdown.
While Reservation Dogs was led by a cast of actors who were previously relatively unknown, The Lowdown has some star power with Ethan Hawke in the lead role. The strong cast is rounded out by Tim Blake Nelson, Kyle MacLachlan, Keith David, and others.
Ahead of the show’s release, keep reading for everything you need to know before it arrives.
Plot
The logline reads, “FX’s The Lowdown from Creator Sterlin Harjo and starring Executive Producer Ethan Hawke, follows the gritty exploits of citizen journalist ‘Lee Raybon’ (Hawke), a self-proclaimed Tulsa ‘truthstorian’ whose obsession with the truth is always getting him into trouble. When the publication of Lee’s latest exposé — a deep dive into the powerful Washberg family – is immediately followed by the suspicious suicide of ‘Dale Washberg’ (Tim Blake Nelson), Lee knows he’s stumbled onto something big.”
told the Los Angeles Times, “Rez Dogs was my love letter to rural Oklahoma and where I grew up. The Lowdown is my love letter to Tulsa, where I currently live. You see the beauty and the darkness. You see everything.”
He added, “There’s the art of the hang, where the genre is people hanging out. Look at Rez Dogs or Dazed And Confused. There’s an art to hanging and being with characters, and it feels OK to just sit there with them. I think The Lowdown has a good balance of that, where you could just hang with [Raybon] on his block. But there’s also this unfolding story so things never get boring.”
Cast
The show stars Ethan Hawke, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Kaniehtiio Horn, Tim Blake Nelson, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Kyle MacLachlan, Keith David, Killer Mike, and Graham Greene.
“I had the pleasure of working with Graham Greene earlier this year. His career is legendary: Dances with Wolves, Thunder Heart, Reservation Dogs, to name a few. He has always possessed extraordinary grace, wisdom, wit, & depth.
Working with him was shockingly fun. He improvised brilliantly and infused every moment with spontaneity & humor. I even got to break bread with him- and share some fries.
I am shocked to hear of his passing. Blessed travels, friend.”
Release Date
The first two episodes are set to debut on Tuesday, September 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FX. The season has eight episodes and new ones will debut on Tuesdays at the same time. Episodes will stream on Hulu the next day.
Mariah The Scientist is now a few weeks removed from the release of her fourth studio album, Hearts Sold Separately, and has now revealed the dates for the Hearts Sold Separately Tour. It begins early next year in Europe and runs through early spring, ending with a hometown show in Atlanta, giving fans a chance to see live renditions of songs like “Burning Blue” and “Is It A Crime?”
Tickets go on sale Friday, September 19 at 10am local time at livenation.com. Select cities are eligible for a Verizon customer presale beginning Tuesday, September 16. You can find more info here. See below for the tour dates.

Fred Again.. just gave a fan an unforgettable moment. Fred performed in Naples, Italy this past weekend, and immediately after the show, he put on another show, on the fan’s rooftop, which overlooks the venue of the first concert.
Fred shared the full rooftop performance on YouTube yesterday (September 14), too. It starts with the end of the first concert, after which Fred rushes, literally runs, to the fan’s building. There, they meet as Fred makes his way to the rooftop and puts on another performance as the crowd on the ground behind him clears out.
Fred explained the situation in the video description, writing:
“After a show i never quite know what to do. like you go from being filled with the most adreneline ever, to suddenly being like alone or basically alone. Often I just play songs im working on and jam on my keyboard to try ideas out to try n calm down and stuff, cos i cant really be social often.
So when i saw fedde commenting on a post that he had a rooftop that overlooked the show i thought wow this could be like my dream afters. Just going straight up there and get to play songs on my ones and still get to see and feel the energy of the show as everyone leaves!
I played this whole set just to fedde and the beautiful nonna who also lives in this building. It was a lovely sight to look up occasionally and see them both there. Him dancing her sitting. Me a bit of both.
With her long-awaited second studio album Am I The Drama? coming this Friday, September 19, Cardi B has stepped up her efforts to promote it in the wake of the video for “Imaginary Playerz.” Many of these efforts, like pitching multiple album covers based on her viral courtroom appearances and going on an in-store signing tour, have been well-received by most, but garnered one really important critic: Cardi’s daughter, Kulture.
The now-seven-year-old couldn’t help but troll her mom in her latest social video plugging the album. While on a livestream talking about the album’s impending release in her car, Cardi was put off when Kulture chimed in from the backseat, “Oh, don’t get her album,” with a chuckle. “What you mean don’t get my album, girl?” Cardi replied. “Then you ain’t gonna be able to buy sh*t. We’re gonna live in the hood!”
She then listed all the luxuries her kids enjoy, promising they would all go out the window if the album flopped. “No more Roblox coin, no more Apple, no more Target… you gonna be eating rice and beans every g*d damn day!” Returning her attention to the fans on the stream, Cardi ended the hilarious clip with a promise to announce “something every day until my album.” So, look forward to that, and if you’re Team Cardi over Team Kulture here, you can find out more about Am I The Drama?here.
Only Murders In The Building didn’t win either of the two Emmys for which it was nominated this past weekend, but Selena Gomez still had a great time, especially after the ceremony.
After the Emmys, Gomez shared a photo gallery on Instagram, capturing the post, “Grateful for all these people forever and always. Came home to a surprise my baby put together.” Included are photos of her enjoying time with Only Murders In The Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, as well as with fiancé Benny Blanco. There’s also a photo and a video of a swimming pool surrounded by dozens of lit candles. Gomez poses in front of the scene in a “ruched gray Louis Vuitton gown,” as People notes.
Blanco commented on the post, “i win an award every night (you).”
Meanwhile, Gomez recently explained how she and Blanco started dating while working on the 2023 song “Single Soon,” saying, “We spoke for two hours and I asked him to hook me up with anybody that he knew that was cute, and he was like, ‘Oh, we do these things, like, dinner nights. You should come.’ And next thing you know, we’re dating. But, he was terrified in the beginning ’cause he was like, ‘It’s work and it’s complicated and people are going to get mad,’ and I’m like, ‘I don’t give a sh*t, kiss me.’”
Ed Sheeran’s new album Play is out now and he did some celebrating this past weekend. On Saturday the 13th, he and TikTok put on a surprise concert at New York City’s Domino Square.
The ten song performance was intimate, but he drew a large crowd online, with over a million fans tuning in live via TikTok.
At the show, Sheeran also revealed he’s going on a tour of North America soon. He recently spoke about moving to the US but later clarified that it’s a temporary relocation, writing on Instagram (as People notes), “Way easier to clear up stuff on here so here’s me setting record straight, coz there’s deffo a narrative press are trying to push that people wanna move out of UK for some reason. I’m not moving, I’m going on tour with my family and relocating to the continent I’m touring on, don’t wanna commute from London to San Diego obvz. Also this isnt a tax thing, it’s USA not UAE. Il always pay tax in uk coz that’s where I live. Play out Friday go listen to it x.”

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. This week we have a jam-packed list of dope drops aimed squarely at Nike die-hards. I mean, sure, the other brands are represented; we’re getting treated to a dope Oasis-themed Adidas SPZL, and the return of the Jabbar Lo. But outside of those two Adidas drops, the week belongs to Nike, and what a week it is!
New Dunks, Air Force 1s, a Yu-Gi-Oh-themed Air Max 95 (random, but dope) — it’s a real week of greatest hits from Nike, but the one release that is dropping with the most hype is without a doubt the return of the Jordan 5 Fire Red Black Tongue. We don’t blame you if all of your attention (and hope) is pointed squarely at that one release, but if you aren’t lucky enough to cop a pair, don’t worry, there are a lot of great alternatives out there this week.
Let’s dive into the best sneakers dropping this week.
Is there a ‘90s Brit Pop star that embodies the look of the Adidas SPZL more than Oasis’ Noel Gallagher (you shut your mouth Blur fans)? We don’t think so, so when we found out Gallagher was linking up with Adidas for a new take on the SPZL, we were all-in before we ever saw the sneaker.
Thankfully, the results look great. This is a simple design featuring a leather and textile upper, synthetic lining, a midnight blue colorway, and Noel Gallagher portrait branding on the tongue. Nothing about this sneaker looks out of place, and that’s a testament to how right this collaboration feels.
The Adidas NG Marathon SPZL Night Navy is out now for a retail price of $130. Pick up a pair via the Adidas CONFIRMED app.
Nike Women’s Air Jordan 1 High OG Baroque Brown and Sail
There are a few select colors that just look right with the Jordan 1 design, and one of those colors is brown, which is why this women’s exclusive Jordan 1 is a must cop. Featuring a white leather upper with rich brown overlays, a padded collar, and woven tongue logos, this Jordan 1 is oozing autumnal vibes.
But just because this sneaker looks tailor-made for the fall doesn’t mean it can’t work in every season. At the end of the day, it’s just a fantastic colorway of one of the greatest sneakers of all time. You can’t lose there.
The Nike Women’s Air Jordan 1 High OG Baroque Brown and Sail is out now for a retail price of $185. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
Squeaky clean and ultra fresh — that’s how we’d best describe this muted UNC take on the AF-1. This sneaker sports a white leather upper with icy translucent panels, a blue-tinted outsole, and laser-engraved logos for a futuristic take on this classic design.
It gently nudges the AF-1 into the future, and for that alone, we’re digging it.
The Nike Air Force 1 White and University Blue is out now for a retail price of $130. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
The Dunk Low Black and Pink Rise takes the same futuristic semi-translucent build as the aforementioned AF-1 and applies it to the Dunk. But where the former design was fresh and futuristic, this Dunk feels a lot moodier, with the white leather being swapped for Black contrasted with pink translucent details and a padded collar.
The Nike Dunk Low Black and Pink Rise is out now for a retail price of $135. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
Nike is dropping two alt camo-influenced colorways of the Air Max 95 but we’re going to shout out just one of them — the Court Purple and Wild Grape. This sneaker sports a lightweight synthetic leather upper with mesh details, and ripples adorned with a swirling black, purple, and grape camo print with contrasting silver accents.
The Nike Air Max 95 Court Purple and Wild Grape is out now for a retail price of $200. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
You might be scratching your head as to why the early ‘00s anime Yu-Gi-Oh is getting a themed Air Max 95 and, well we don’t have a good answer for you. 2025 apparently marks the release of the World Championship 2025 rules and events for the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, but we’re going to be honest, we don’t know what that really means, why we should care, or what it has to do with shoes, but hey this pair looks pretty good, so who are we to complain?
Inspired by and named after the character Joey, this Air Max 95 sports a leather upper, scuffed detailing, and a monochromatic blue colorway with neon green accents inspired by Joey’s fit.
The Nike Air Max QS YGO is out now for a retail price of $210. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
First introduced in 1978, the Adidas Jabbar Lo is the first signature basketball sneaker ever. For that alone, its return is exciting, and Adidas is going all out by dropping seven different colorways of this legendary sneaker. But the best colorway — and the most iconic — is this special colorway that takes inspiration from the friendship of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bruce Lee (a dream blunt rotation if we’ve ever heard one).
The sneaker sports a suede and leather upper with a sockliner portrait of the two pals with a special commemorative box and a colorway inspired by Lee’s famous Game of Death fit.
The Adidas Jabbar Lo Bruce Lee is set to drop on September 13th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $110. Pick up a pair via the Adidas CONFIRMED app.
Originally released 35 years ago, the Fire Red Jordan 5 is one of the greatest colorways of one of the greatest sneakers of all time. Need we say more about this one? It’s classic leather build, that iconic icy outsole, the pops of red and black — it’s a damn work of art. The sort of sneaker that belongs under glass in a museum of sneakers.
Having said that, if you’re lucky enough to cop a pair, wear them until they fall apart! Good shoes like this deserve to be seen on the streets.
The Nike Air Jordan 5 Fire Red Black Tongue is set to drop on September 13th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $215. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
Pack that sunscreen, your favorite swimsuit, a bubble shooter and your preferred flotation device, because Lake Perris California’s Same Same But Different is back, and this time it promises to be more than just another weekend of electronic beats and drops (but it’s going to be that too, so bring those dancing shoes). This year, SSBD is going full sensory overload with a chest-rattling lineup sound tracking a lakeside bash that is one part community, one part chaos, and a whole lot of fun.
This year’s headliners include the LSDREAM and CloZee super duo, LSZEE, as well as Zeds Dead, Dr. Fresch, Coco & Breezy, and takeovers by Bass N Babes, Good Society, Odyzey, and more — and that’s really just scratching the surface. The full lineup is a bouquet of electronic artists, all delivering high-energy drops and world-class bass music with a sunrise set by CloZee.
Same Same But Different
But SSDB is about more than music — explore the festival grounds to experience arts and crafts classes, multiple forms of yoga sessions (including stand-up paddle board style because this is SSDB after all), or brush up on your moves at one of the festival’s many dance programs. SSDB is a playground of wellness, art, community and above all else — music.
SSDB is simply one of the finest experiential festivals happening this year — you’re bound to come away from this one with memories you’ll never forget and a few new skills to impress your friends.
The festival will come to Lake Perris, California, from September 26th to 28th. Buy tickets here, and if you’re still not convinced, these photos from prior years will help you imagine what sort of fun (and good trouble) you can get yourself into.

Summer has faded away, which means festival season is winding down. It’s always sad to see it go, but it’s comforting to remember that while multi-stage weekends will soon have to wait until next year, there’s still a massive roster of stars traveling across the country on their own tours. There are so many acts worth checking out, many of whom are likely hitting a venue somewhere near you. Highlights include old favorites taking the stage for the first time in years, new stars looking to prove themselves out on the road, and everything in between.
We looked through the September touring schedule and spotlighted some of the biggest tours you shouldn’t miss in the coming weeks, so check them out below.
Dua Lipa — Radical Optimism Tour

Recommended venue: Madison Square Garden in New York, New York
Dua Lipa has come a long way since becoming a meme for her early-career stage presence, which some perceived as not being the most dynamic. These days, though, she puts on a hell of a show, and she has continued doing so when her Radical Optimism Tour resumed earlier this month. Between now and October, she’ll be bringing her library of hits everywhere from New York City to Los Angeles, Miami, and Seattle.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross tend to focus on their work scoring movies these days, and why wouldn’t they? They’ve won Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, and more for their film work, and they remain in demand on that front. Ultimately, they are also Nine Inch Nails, and that’s not a legacy to dismiss. Indeed, the two are currently on their first NIN tour in three years. They’ve snuck a bit of movie magic into the proceedings, too, as they tapped their Challengers collaborator Boys Noize as an opener.
Recommended venue: Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto, Canada
Boundary-pushing indie favorite Ethel Cain is fresh off the release of her latest well-received album, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You. The album is a mixed bag, so it’ll be interesting to see how the different tunes will be presented live. Fortunately, Cain recently kicked off a lengthy tour that will keep her in North America through the end of September, followed by overseas dates in October and November.
Here’s your chance to see a guy do a backflip. It’s all he does (per his half-joking admission). Kidding aside, the young star has already proven himself to be an exuberant and charismatic showman, and songs like “Beautiful Things” and “Mystical Magical” have quickly become catchy favorites. Boone’s American Heart World Tour just launched in August, so there are still plenty of opportunities to see him on a stage near you through to October.
Recommended venue: United Center in Chicago, Illinois
You can put Lady Gaga up against any of her contemporaries when it comes to experienced and engaging live performers. Her stage design and theatrics are always top-notch, not to mention she’s touring in support of Mayhem, her 2025 album featuring hits like “Die With A Smile” and “Abracadabra.” There’s a lot to love here and a few opportunities to love it, as Gaga still has a handful of North American dates scheduled through September.
In October, Little Simz will co-star in a new movie on Netflix called Steve alongside Cillian Murphy. The film, which is based on Max Porter’s bestselling novel Shy, follows the head teacher at a financially strapped reform school in the mid-90s. The cast also features Tracey Ullman, Jay Lycurgo, and Emily Watson, and it looks like a thoroughly wringing emotional experience.
Simz does her damnedest to capture that experience in her new song “Don’t Leave Too Soon,” which will appear on the movie’s soundtrack. Built around an atmospheric, moody drum&bass loop, the song — which was co-written with Miles Clinton James and Matthew Nelson — reflects the spirit of the film’s tense battles with mental health, and the sound of the score, which was composed by Portishead’s Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury.
The video captures clips from the film, which include some hyperrealistic scenes highlighting the stress the students — and their teacher — feel throughout, culminating in a disorienting camera rotation that feels like the world turning upside down. This includes Simz performing in an auditorium where the floor suddenly becomes the ceiling.
You can watch Little Simz’s “Don’t Leave Too Soon” video above.
Steve is coming to Netflix on 10/3, with a limited theatrical engagement beginning on 9/19.
