Of course, I would have cheered for more of The Path's quasi-religious twists and turns no matter when the announcement came. We definitely can't knock the timing of this Season 3 renewal, since Hulu was clearly making some strategic decisions with that announcement. We just love him.The Path's Season 2 finale was released in the early Wednesday morning hours, and dedicated viewers who watched immediately - myself included - were left wondering how life could possibly go on without another season to follow, and Hulu has graciously already answered those desperate pleas for more. That is also my favorite episode, “The Shore.” I love it so much and find it really moving. He came off the screen as this sort of kid-he’s kind of strange, but he works so well, is so sensitive and heartfelt. Literally we were looking through tapes that had been sent in-he was on a tape-and he just jumped out as us and was so unlike every other teenager. A son on the cusp of something?”Īnd he has been such a gift as a character and finding that actor.

And I said, “What if they have a sixteen year-old son.

Originally my script didn’t have the older son, so they were talking to Jason who did Friday Night Lights and said that they wanted a little more of that brand. With Hulu, that was the first thing that they said. That is why you have partners in writing because you can get a little myopic. Can you talk a little bit about how that character and what he represents grew into such an integral part of the show? What was it like stumbling onto the goldmine that is Hawk? In your original version of the pilot, the character wasn’t there. The episode “The Shore,” where Eddie and Hawk spend so much time at Coney Island, is really beautiful in its simplicity.

I think it’d be so interesting to see young Cal and Steve, the father. It’d be an interesting way of exploring both of those characters from different perspectives. It doesn’t excuse the things that he does, but that’s what makes him a good villain.Īlong those lines, any interest in visiting flashbacks set during Cal’s childhood with the Meyersits while Stephen Meyer was in the height of his power. And that episode with Kathleen Turner where we understand who this kid is-you just see the child behind the man for a moment, everything that he’s running from, and all of his demons. And yet, pretty early on we show where he comes from. You never want to be able to write people off as crazy.Īnd just making sure that what the characters want is coming from a very real place, so even fi you don’t like what they’re doing you can some kind of compassion for them, I hope. I mean certain characters do very, very, very bad things in the show, but as a group you have to keep the allure. What was the hardest thing about breaking this season, and what was the biggest surprise that you stumbled upon while plotting things?Įach episode is quite difficult because it’s very complicated to be sure that you’re keeping this equal balance where you never want anyone to be able to be written off as bad-and I hope that we’re doing this. They can’t become this “super cult” immediately. There must be a fine line though between filling the show with those moments and also keeping it to a degree where things are still moving at a realistic rate.

It’s like a big schism and those moments in the series when you do see the Movement entering into that next stage are certainly the most exciting ones. It seemed like a very interesting question to see if you can take the religion from one generation to the second, and what that means for the religion.

Beyond that fact, I just wanted to plop these viewers in this world during the middle of it and have to find their way. That that’s when something becomes a religion. They sort of say that if a religion can make it past that first charismatic leader than it will live-it’ll become like Scientology, or Mormonism, which I know is very accepted but the fact that it made it past that stage. Instead of seeing something starting, to instead see that move from first generation to second generation. JESSICA GOLDBERG: To me that seemed really fun.
