: We’re in the middle of shooting. We’re just over the halfway point by a couple of weeks. So, full-on production. It’s all happening. I went through the quarantine and was on set for about three-and-a-half weeks, just in the beginning, to get everybody off and running. But since then I’ve been here [in L.A.].DEADLINE: What are the challenges doing a huge television series in the midst of COVID-19 protocols?: I find it really difficult. This is definitely not my favorite production experience.
DEADLINE: I doubt you want to divulge any season 3 spoilers, but maybe you could talk about your goals for the season as you set to work on it.: We’ve been certainly a political and satirical show. We were really interested in exploring both the recent history of Vought, the company in the show, but also through that the recent history of the United States… We got really interested in the myths we tell ourselves, to feel that we’re righteous, really exploring America itself as a myth.
DEADLINE: One of the most remarkable aspects of the show is how you take on contemporary social issues—authoritarianism and celebrity, for instance, which we just lived through for four years. How are you able to somehow explore these timely issues, through ostensibly a kind of unreal world?: Part of it was, I do admit, dumb luck, because all good genre is a metaphor for something. I happened to stumble into this great job that had the perfect metaphor for the exact second we’re living in.
He was a slam dunk. He was definitely the only actor we put forward for that role… He attacks this as seriously as any actor attacks anything. “Ants” consistently gets angry when we’re on panels and people talk about, “You’re the best villain.” And he’ll say what a good actor should say, which is like, “I’m not the villain. How many times do I have to tell you? I’m misunderstood.”
Without giving away any spoilers, I was just in editing yesterday, and we’re doing something here in the season 3 premiere that is not only I think the craziest thing we’ve ever done, it’s got to be up there with the craziest thing anyone’s ever done. Maybe it won’t work. Who knows? But I’m just so high on this gag that we’re pulling off. And it’s certainly something nobody has ever seen before, probably for good reason. So all that’s really exciting.
And I found that to be the best advice I’ve ever gotten. A showrunner’s job, at the end of the day, is to keep the momentum of your team moving forward so that everyone knows what they have to do. You really literally are running it like you would a train. And then even if you’re wrong and you come back the next day and you say, “Hey, guys, I was wrong, but now I know that we’re going in this direction,” even that’s okay, because it’s always moving.
