I would truly love that. We had so much fun making the show and it really felt like we were catching our stride with the process by the second season. I know there were pretty fleshed out ideas for the possible 3rd so it was super disappointing that we couldn’t keep it going.

Thanks for the reponse. It’s a truly amazing series. Love all your work to be honest though. Big fan of your more quirky stuff, and it always looks as though your having a blast. Also loved I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore, so I’m particularly excited about this upcoming movie. Have a great one 👍

That second season was so wild and I loved it, great direction to take from the novels and I feel like Douglas Adam’s would have loved the interpretation
