Loudermilk is an American comedy-drama television series created by Peter Farrelly and Bobby Mort. The series stars Ron Livingston, Will Sasso, Laura Mennell, Anja Savcic, Mat Fraser, Toby Levins, and Mark Brandon. The show premiered on October 17, 2017, on the AT&T Audience Network. In December 2018, it was announced that Audience had renewed the series for a third season. In April 2020, the series was left without a home after the network ceased operations.

Amazon subsequently acquired the rights to stream the series, and the previously unaired third season was released on Amazon Prime Video in some countries, such as Canada, in December 2020.Vorlage:Citation needed The series made its U.S. debut in March 2021, while the third season was added the following month.

Further seasons have been conceptualized by the creators, but are as-yet unproduced, as a sponsoring (not just distribution) network is being sought. In January 2024, Sony Distribution licensed all 3 seasons to be available on Netflix as well as Amazon Prime. As of February 25, 2024, three seasons are available on Netflix in the U.S.

Premise

Sam Loudermilk, a former music critic and a recovering alcoholic, is a substance abuse counselor and support group leader living in Seattle, who regularly doles out clever but acid-tongued critiques to his clients, his friends, and any random person he interacts with. Loudermilk, who does not have his life together in the way one might expect of a counselor, is somewhat nicer to the few people close to him, including his best friend and (usually) sober sponsor, Ben Burns, and his sponsee and unplanned roommate, Claire Wilkes.

On April 12, 2018, Audience renewed the series for a second season, which it premiered on October 16, 2018. On December 5, 2018, it was announced that Audience had renewed the series for a third season, but the network ceased operations in May 2020, prior to the third season's scheduled airing.

Music

The first season uses tracks from Andy Shauf's album The Party as incidental and atmospheric score, with an eclectic soundtrack as a nod to Sam Loudermilk's past as a music critic.

Reception

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the first season an approval rating of 92% based on reviews from 12 critics, with an average rating of 7.12 out of 10. The site's critical consensus states:

Loudermilk's timely premise and sharp writing lay a solid foundation for a strong central performance from Ron Livingston, perfectly cast in this endearing dark comedy about a rock critic turned recovering alcoholic. Currently, there is a petition from fans urging Netflix to produce more seasons at Change.org

Distribution

The series is distributed by Sony Pictures TV; and in Canada, Germany, Italy, the U.K., and the U.S., it airs on Amazon Prime Video. The show has also become a popular choice on Netflix since being added to their library.

Future

Though the cast was released from any contractual obligations to produce further episodes after the Audience Network shutdown, co-creator Peter Farrelly has stated that "everybody wants to come back and do Season 4", and that a production network is being sought. While Amazon was distributing the existing seasons (and Netflix has since joined them), to date they have not taken on a production role for further seasons. In total, Farrelly has envisioned seven seasons' worth of plotlines and character arcs.
