Het tweede seizoen van Legion is ondertussen weer begonnen in Amerika en is weer helemaal gestoord. Nu had de website Collider een interview met de producent Noah Hawley die een hoop had te vertellen en een klein stukje daar uit kan je nu alvast hier onder lezen.

Looking back on Season 1, what do you feel worked the best and what did you want to build on, for Season 2?

HAWLEY: It's always best, to me, when the genre can be used to solve the characters. So, when you can use the genre and the inventive of the storytelling, Black Mirror is a great example of using The Twilight Zone premise to explore humanity. In Season 2, there are a few episodes where I'm really proud of how I was able to do things that you can't do, in a straight drama, like Fargo. When you have a show where you can literally go into people's memories and see the things that make them who they are, you can't do that with a normal show. You can put somebody in therapy and they can talk about it. The show, for me, works best when it's very character-driven and emotional.

I love that where you left Season 1 gave me absolutely no idea where you were going to take things in Season 2.

HAWLEY: Yeah. Breaking Bad is a great example of a show where you would literally pick up, the minute after you'd left. They maintained that out of the frying pan and into the fire tension, for season after season after season, in real time. But, this just isn't that show. What some distance and some time does is allow you to reset the table. If Season 1 was about going from confusion to clarity, as David was like, "Oh, this is actually what's going on. I don't have schizophrenia, I have these powers. There's this monster. What is that? Now, I understand what it is," I didn't want to start Season 2 with clarity. You have to allow yourself the space to create some mystery that you then can solve, over the course of the second season.
