On August 6, the season premiere of the 4th season of Better Call Saul will air on AMC at 9 PM followed by the series premiere of Lodge 49 at 10 PM. Lodge 49 is set in Long Beach, California, focusing on a disarmingly optimistic local ex-surfer, Sean “Dud” Dudley (Wyatt Russell from 22 Jump Street), who’s drifting after the death of his father and collapse of the family business. Dud finds himself on the doorstep of a rundown fraternal lodge, where a middle-aged plumbing salesman and “Luminous Knight” of the order, Ernie Fontaine (Brent Jennings from Moneyball and Witness), welcomes him into a world of cheap beer, easy camaraderie and the promise of Alchemical mysteries that may – or may not – put Dud on the path to recover the idyllic life he’s lost.
The season finale of The 100 will air on August 7 at 8 PM on The CW; meanwhile that same night The Bold Type will also air its season finale on Freeform at 8 PM.
Also on August 7, the new 10-episode WGN America drama Carter will debut at 10 PM. This lighthearted detective comedy revolves around Harley Mackay (Jerry O’Connell from Slider and Billions), an actor playing a detective on a hit television show until he is forced to retreat to his sleepy hometown after an embarrassing public meltdown in Hollywood.

Jennifer Shannon (Lori Loughlin) discovers a dead body in the storage locker she and business partner Dani (Sarah Strange) have purchased at auction. When further inspection of the locker’s contents reveals plaster “death masks,” and one of those masks perfectly matches the dead woman’s visage, Jennifer’s “inner sleuth” kicks into overdrive as she works to piece together the clues that will lead to the killer.
Mark your calendars!
