John Lurie is putting away his watercolors.

The series launched in January 2021, the second season premiered in February 2022 and the third season launched in June 2023.

Lurie, who co-founded the jazz ensemble Lounge Lizards, has starred in films including Stranger Than Paradise and Down By Law and was behind the Grammy nominated soundtrack for Get Shorty. He is also well known for Fishing with John, a cult series that aired on IFC and Bravo in the early 90s.
