Nobody had established the way production was going to work.
“Season 2, I really worked on developing stories that were personal to me.
John Esposito, who wrote that episode, had that same experience.
I was really proud to direct that episode and to tell that story.”
“‘Public Television of the Dead’ is very much a love letter toSam Raimi,” says Nicotero.
“I wanted to say thanks for creating this cool universe of possessed people.
The nice thing was Barbara Crampton came in right after Ashley left.
We have an absolutely magnificent cast.”
