“So, I think that’s kind of how we’re thinking of it.”
The biggest adjustment we had to make was in the number of extras we could use and locations.
All of these places that we couldn’t go film at, we built these locations [there].

That was one of the biggest changes.
Before the show premiered, you and Kaley talked about how you had ideas for a season 2.
Those things still exist in this limited series place.

One of the biggest surprises in the finale is that Shane is a CIA agent.
But, there are little clues into the Shane stuff, but they wouldn’t feel like clues.
kind of just following up on the fact that he was basically keeping an eye on Megan.

So, we wanted it to be a surprise.
It’s not as built as the Felix reveal, but we hoped people would have fun with it.
What conversations did you have with Griffin about playing Shane?
And I think he plays the turn at the end really well.
Even Max [Deniz Akdeniz] and Miranda survived!
That serves to push Cassie over the edge to this more manic place because no one believes her.
It becomes less of an adventure.
And the whole thing takes place over, I think, 12 or 13 days.
So yeah, we didn’t want to go crazy with it.
I need to let go of this responsibility I’m carrying for some of these things.
I need to try and live my life in a different way."
Cassie and Annie’s (Zosia Mamet) friendship survived this ordeal.
I feel like both of the actresses delivered in spades.
Together, they’re electric.
They have very different styles and on-screen it just works so well.
Annie isthefriend in the way that Davey isthefamily in the show for Cassie.
The fact that there could be growth there for both women, that’s exciting for me.
That was the one I was most excited about, though.
I guess it would have to be the final reckoning that Cassie has with her younger self.
But yes, we have ideas for Megan.
The Flight Attendantis available to stream on HBO Max now.
