Much like many shows that are being release now, the season two produciton of The Great was interrupted by the pademic. A show involving so much intimacy invovled a heightened level of protocols when production returned. Fanning remarked, "We were just like, 'Swab me here, swab me here, swab me there, whatever. Here we are. Just swab me everywhere." While saftey measures were hightened, the show itself was not compromised. Fanning explained that her fellow show producer, Tony Macnamara, who refused to compromise the originial vision for the season. "He didn't want to have to compromise the writing and the scope of the show...It was almost like, 'Okay, if we're going to really compromise the show, then we should just wait to make season 2.'"
We are so glad that they were able to produce the season that will be coming out this week! Check it out on Hulu on Friday November 19th.
