He says the season stands on its own despite his interest in returning.

Overview

  • He credits creator Sterlin Harjo with encouraging playful improvisation that balances the show’s darker dramatic currents.
  • The actor frames the closing chapter as a reckoning with the personal costs of reporting and the slipperiness of perspective.
  • Season 1 is designed to function as a complete story, though Hawke expresses enthusiasm for a possible continuation.
  • The finale aired on FX on Nov. 4, with next‑day streaming availability on Hulu.
