Selina has said this is the most exciting season of the show so far.
00:03
How would you say season four takes the show to the next level?
00:06
Wow. I mean, yeah, I would agree with Selina on that one.
00:10
I can only imagine that it's really hard to find any show in history
00:19
that has a cast so stacked and loaded like this one does.
00:23
But beyond that, what's beautiful is that they've really...
00:26
The writers, myself, we've really found a way to integrate them into the show
00:31
so it feels like part of the show itself, not just pops of famous people.
00:36
There are brilliant characterizations all the way throughout
00:39
and the mystery's alive and kicking.
00:41
The trio is at the center of it all
00:43
and there's reflections of them everywhere they look
00:47
and doppelgangers and films and film scripts and reflections.
00:52
So the whole season is built around that, but it's just a freaking blast.
00:55
There's an episode this season that's a found footage episode
00:58
which is unlike anything you've ever done on the show before.
01:01
What made you want to do that and what challenges did it present?
01:04
Great question.
01:05
I think that's episode six is our sort of more experimental leap we took
01:12
which basically sprung from a season in all forms of looking at film and movies
01:19
and what they've done.
01:21
You know, films have only been around for a little over 100 years.
01:25
So I thought let's experiment with an episode that is all through cameras
01:31
and let's see what that feels like.
01:34
We had two brilliant characters played by Cat Cohen and Sienna Werber,
01:38
the brothers' sisters,
01:40
and that felt like a great opportunity to put an episode in their POV as well.
01:45
And everyone took to it
01:47
and it does give a bit of a jolt to the season
01:49
in some way that feels different for the show.
01:52
Definitely.
01:53
And like you were saying earlier,
01:54
there are so many amazing guest stars this season.
01:57
Who's one new character that you're especially excited for the audience to meet?
02:01
Oh, well, I have a special place in my heart
02:04
because she's my dear friend for many, many years.
02:07
One of the first people I met in Los Angeles is Molly Shannon
02:10
and she plays a character named Bev Mellon.
02:13
And Molly just hits it out of the park as everyone does in this season.
02:17
But I particularly was thrilled to get a chance back to work with my dear friend.
02:22
And the first episode of the season starts here in Los Angeles
02:25
on the Paramount lot where we are right now.
02:28
What made you want to jump to L.A. for that one episode?
02:31
Well, I thought, again, like looking at, you know,
02:33
we have a victim this season that is a Hollywood stunt double.
02:37
And marrying that with the success of this podcast our trio has done,
02:43
it didn't feel like too far a leap to think that Hollywood
02:45
might be tapping at their door to make an adaptation.
02:48
So all of that felt like a good reason to come to Hollywood for a moment,
02:52
but take it right back to New York because we are a definite New York show.
02:57
And it will always be that.
