Clearly, there are adjustments each season, and we depart the writers and the writers’ room flexibility to go off the map if we’ve got to or make adjustments. However proper now, I imply, we’re type of previous the midway level in a approach, you recognize, and it’s fascinating.
As in most TV reveals, to start with, you dream of like, ‘Oh, I see this massive arc…’ As formidable as we have been, I don’t suppose at that second we actually felt we have been like, ‘Oh, yeah, for certain. Let’s discuss what’s gonna occur in Season 6 of the present,’ however right here we’re premiering Season 4.
I feel the hope is to have the ability to take that story all the way in which to the current time. I feel that was all the time, for me, a aim of how superb it will be to get to the current of our alt-history and form of see how totally different the world might have been. I feel that that’s one thing we’re actually trying ahead to.”
