In “Betty,” which returns for its six-episode second season on Friday, they glide through the streets of Brooklyn while navigating the pressures of both young adulthood and a historical crisis. Written and filmed during the pandemic, the show sought to integrate New York’s upheaval into the episodes.
“Our show grows with us and changes with our world,” Russell said. “The characters were living under the same circumstances that we dealt with in everyday life.”
Moselle first encountered Moran and Vinberg on the G train in Brooklyn, a chance meeting that eventually led to a fertile, ongoing collaboration. While the works have been mostly fictional, the characters and stories are based on the girls’ experiences and perspectives.
