And coming off that, did you guys already know how season 2 was going to play out?

It also has put us under a bit of pressure during the making of season 2.
Will there be justice for the guy who was wrongly accused?
We knew that would be the main story of season 2 and it is, I think!
Is a central long mystery always gonna be the structure of the show?
For us, it’s all part of the Marina saga, so to speak.
And her story line is definitely continuing in season 2.
Are you ever afraid of backlash?
Do you guys ever feel like there are limits to what you’re able to show or explore?
MADRONA:We are actually, honestly, not very aware of being controversial.
Hopefully backlash is not the only way to start it, though.
For us, the limits come mostly from finding the right way to bring up a subject matter.
How do you guys feel the new characters introduced fit into the fold of the group?
MONTERO:We were worried that the second season could become a misery parade after the death of Marina.
So it was important for us that the new characters would bring energy and life to the show.
MADRONA:As writers, we root for all of our characters, we want them to find happiness…
It’s a balancing act, for sure.
The lineage of teen shows is pretty clear in America.
Some big stuff happens with Christian pretty early on.
Will we get him back?
MADRONA:Who knows?
I do, but I’m not telling, sorry!
You guys already got renewed for season 3.
We work together trying to make the best show we can and we have a good relationship with them.
And no, they don’t give notes based on algorithms so far!
We are working already on season 3 so we definitely know what’s going to happen!
How do you go about offing people essentially?
