If there is a lesson to learn from “Severrance” Season 2, maybe this is: Trust the creative process. Three years after its first season and a production process that was about going back to the author room after filming, Apple TV+, Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson appeared at the top and collected 27 Emmy nominations on Tuesday – most of any show.
“The amazing thing about the show is that everyone who works with it is so passionate. Especially when something takes several years to come out, you really want to wait to be worth it, and especially when the audience is so kind and shows such a belief in you, you want to reward that belief,” told Erickson, who created and executive produces “Severance” and which was nominated for an award for an award for an award for a. “The fact that all the work and all the challenges and everything gave something that was so special, it’s a really, really wonderful feeling.”
It makes sense that “departure” would require some extra time to be perfect because there really is no show like it on TV. Erickson’s tripy drama extends across the boundary between an absurdist fever dream and a removal of the company’s America that is as reckless as Lumon Industries is for its workers. After two seasons that spent exploring the worlds of Innie’s and excursions and questioning what it means to be human, Erickson feels that he has a much firmer grip on his series that is so insightful that it is almost beyond words.
“We have kind of constituted the language in the show when we have joined and thus learned it ourselves. So I now feel as if we have a better sense of what is the show and what is not the show,” Erickson said. That said, something we did in season 2 was that we really did not want to rest on our stocks or replicate what we had done. Through design, the show always changes and develop, and we sit in the uncertain position to challenge ourselves to do something a little different, a little crazy. It is a self -induced anxiety that we cannot help to keep ourselves. “
Erickson is in the middle of the “self -induced anxiety” right now as he is working on writing season 3. As much as he appreciates the art of fan and fan theories, he had to go away from both because “it comes in my head a little sometimes.”
“The passion that people have for the show is really, really humble,” Erickson said. “It’s my favorite thing. Of course, it’s wonderful to be treated well by critics and everything, but at the end of the day if people don’t watch the show and love it and enjoy it, is it no sense. And you know what?
When it comes to what happens to Season 3, Erickson says it is in a good place. “It’s going well. We are really good. We have a really wonderful team and some really crazy ideas that I think will surprise people,” he teased.
At the moment, Erickson celebrates his success and sunbathes himself in the wave of “27 dresses” memes as friends have sent him to his show 27 nominations. “Several people have had the same idea,” he said.
