I was expecting to see her working with Seth but she never showed up.
They’ve only had access to their rooms and that post-rescue facility.
How far into planning a potential season 3 are you?

HARRIS:We were ready for this when the show launched for season 1.
Sarah and I had really mapped out what season 2 could be.
We’re both very superstitious, so I’ll just keep my head down and hope.

But we have a really good roadmap for where season 3 would go.
What can you tease about what season 3 would explore?
Now we have all 14 in the same place and what does that look like?
How didthat incredible Ben Folds cameocome about?
This is this hump that she has to get over before she has this beautiful maturity moment.
So we meditated upon what she needed to get over.
The line from the show is the patient zero of her obsessional attention.
We brought him on and the rest is history.
HARRIS:I think Leah is, in many ways, an avatar for Sarah.
she was so clear, like it had to be Ben Folds.
His music is so emotional.
And he was so spectacularly game.
But he was so wonderful.
He really committed to the role!
HARRIS:I really felt for him that day.
He was really game from the get-go.
Another burning question I’ve had is … where were Gretchen’s pugs this season?!
HARRIS:I think Tom, her sycophantic assistant, is absolutely dog sitting.
I really hope they return in season 3.
HARRIS:Sarah and I can’t get enough of dogs, just so you know.
STREICHER:I write them in almost every episode.
[Laughs] Then they get taken out, but they’re there at one point.
Another burning question I had is about those phone calls from Jeff looking for Leah.
Is he actually looking for Leah?
I thought he was done with her.
He did reach out.
Those transcripts are real.
I think that they felt like they needed this trump card and they had one.
Jeff has, at least, that thread of humanity.
