Here’s what he said – “Yeah, it can be either an anthology or a limited (series), depending on how we decide to proceed.”
But the idea is that each season is stand-alone—and without giving too much away, each season would profile a specific thing, as the (Jejune) Institute was profiled in the first season.” – said Jason.
After being asked about the choice of the characters of the season one and if they will be in the second season too.
Jason said – “I don’t, you know? I like the ellipses of it all. I like us imagining what might happen to each of those characters—will they stay in touch, (or) will they not. One of the things I love best about movies that have really impacted me is that they allow my imagination to do some of the work.”
