I thought it would be nice to give them a little nod. It’s really Murphy’s Breaking Bad season. Every scene makes you question the chain of events.ĬK: Right, and I think our second season is a real nod to Breaking Bad, which used flash-forwards so brilliantly. HR: I always like the flash-forward device because you spend the whole season wondering how they’re going to get to THAT point of having a dead guy on the ground. So, we used the flash-forward device to be like-okay, the entire group killed this person, but how did we get there? And I thought it was a good way to keep our audience engaged week-to-week-or on Netflix, hour-to-hour. I just didn’t want Murphy to be solving another murder. She was never going to solve another murder, but the mystery element fit so nicely, so I knew that I wanted a mystery of some sort. Murphy was never going to be a detective. What made you decide to use that format for Season 2?ĬK: When I pitched the show, I said I wanted every season to look and feel very different. We knew Murphy was looking for Tyson’s murderer in Season 1, but in Season 2, we’re given a hint of what’s to come right away, and then we jump back to see what events led to that moment. HR: What’s interesting about In the Dark Season 2 is how differently the mystery is set up from Season 1.

It was also nice to have my husband in Toronto with me while shooting, and with a three-year-old son, to have the whole family there instead of one without the other was a nice treat, as well.

I think we have such a similar taste anyway, and it was natural. It was really fun we have such a shorthand.

We had not collaborated before, and then we subsequently did a pilot together, and it was the first thing we officially did together. HR: What was it like working with your husband John Francis Daley on Season 2? Had you guys collaborated before?ĬK: It was great. Roswell, New Mexico season 4, episode 12 recap: Escaping the dimension.Nancy Drew season 4 is not coming in September 2022.Walker season 3 is not coming to The CW in September 2022.Walker Independence is not coming to The CW in September 2022.All American Season 5 is not coming in September 2022.To wrap the second season, knowing that we were all coming back was just such a kick. At the end of the first season, we had no idea how people were going to respond to it we had no idea if we were going to get a second season. HR: Was that exciting for everyone on set?ĬK: It was so exciting, I directed Episode 13 of Season 1 and also Episode 13 of Season 2, and the difference in wrapping was pretty strange. We knew before we shot the 13th episode that it was going to be getting a third season. Hidden Remote: Did you guys know going into In the Dark Season 2 that the show would be renewed for Season 3?Ĭorinne Kingsbury: We knew at the end of the second season. Will Max be back?
