It solely takes a few episodes to get hooked on Amazon’s newest sequence, Add. The present, created by The Workplace and Parks and Recreation mastermind Greg Daniels, follows a pc programmer named Nathan who lives in a tech-savvy future the place persons are capable of “add” themselves into their most well-liked afterlife. Nonetheless, when Nathan mysteriously dies in a automotive crash, he finds out that “heaven” — aka the digital afterlife Lake View — is not all it is cracked as much as be. The sequence is mainly the proper mix of The Good Place and Westworld.
After binge-watching the primary season (in a single sitting, I’d add), I am prepared for extra new episodes, particularly because the season one finale ends on fairly a few cliffhangers. So, has the Amazon sequence been picked up for an additional season? Not fairly, however a renewal actually appears promising. When Daniels initially pitched the present, he already has two seasons deliberate out. “Yeah, I undoubtedly [know what happens in season two],” he advised Collider. “I had it labored out ‘trigger I actually needed to impress on everyone that this present was not simply a bizarre idea. You may comply with the characters and the romance can be compelling. So, I gave examples for 2 seasons price, within the pitch, however you give you higher issues once you work with a writing workers. TV is in the end a very collaborative medium. The enjoyment of it’s to create a group, after which take pleasure in everyone’s contributions.”
As for the cliffhanger ending, particularly the thriller round who killed Nathan, Daniels is hopeful for an additional season so he can end telling the story. “On the time, there was this thriller side to the present and I did not wanna resolve it,” he mentioned. “There’s additionally the romantic side as effectively, and I did not wanna end that up. These two issues, I needed to proceed into a doable subsequent season. I am conscious that it may very well be irritating for folks to not have full closure on something, but when you consider the top of Harry Potter’s first film, Voldemort continues to be a drawback. So, my conception for it was that it might go on previous 10 episodes. We all the time talked about [season one] being a five-hour film, and clearly, motion pictures do not all the time have sequels and stuff. However once you go to a lot bother to solid these enjoyable folks and to speculate on this world, I am hopeful to get one other season to proceed to inform the story. We’ll see what occurs.”
