What’s going on there?
It was very carefully dropped throughout the season his frustrations that there’s an imbalance in their relationship.
Does Zoey still have her powers?
Is this now something that they share together or did he take it from her?
I don’t know if I should answer.
[Laughs] No, I better not.
How does this twist shape what a potential third season would look like?
There are lots of avenues that we can take by giving him the powers as well.
Was it always the plan to end the season with Zoey and Max coming back together?
There was a lot of talk, especially in social media circles, about the love triangle this season.
It was important for Zoey to be decisive in what she wanted.
I really genuinely believe that’s what we were doing.
Those were the stages of her grief throughout the season.
And what does this mean for Max’s pop-up plans since he never went to New York?
We did have some lines about that that ended up getting cut for time.
She felt like she couldn’t tell Simon.
What did you want to accomplish with this sequel?
And then he did visit me in a dream one night and it was really emotional for me.
There’s so much vulnerability attached to that.
[Laughs] Those chairs have gotten more and more uncomfortable over the last two seasons.
They keep falling apart and we’ve been gluing them back together.
And I needed a moment of levity in the dream sequence so it wasn’t so earnest.
What have the conversations been like with NBC about any renewal chances?
[Sighs] We’re just waiting to hear.
I know that there’s a lot of internal love and support for the show.
And there’s a lot of great media attention and a super strong fan base and possible awards consideration.
There’s wind in our sails but we just don’t know the specifics yet.
