I loved exploring that visually with her and our DP, Alice Briggs, and our production designer, Nelson Coates, the costume designer, Mitchell Travers. That it was not just about searching for the truth and the importance of journalism in the world, but even more importantly, inside the home itself and that that's complicated. So she has this journal where she's sketching things and the way she sees the world is very non-linear and she really wanted this sort of Anne Boleyn-esque tone, something that could be for the whole family to enjoy but at the same time that dealt with the messy nature of family and the messy nature of friends and a community.
When Dana first came to me with the project, she already had a really strong vision, this young girl's old school but new school.
How would you describe it? What was important to you guys visually? Home Before Dark doesn't feel like the typical detective drama, part of that is due to the young protagonist, Hilde (played by Brooklynn Prince), at the center of the story. Those messages are coming through in a way that's even more emotional than we had initially intended them. Reading some of the episodes that we had planned for season two, they feel even more emotional now because one of the themes of the show is you're in uncertain times and as long as you're with your family, you're going to be able to get through it. I will say that the emotional stuff that happens on our show is very real and very poignant because the actors are so grounded and wonderful. Where can I lay in more work that I probably would have gotten if I had had more time? That's the one nice thing is we're going to have the time to do that. A lot of times you can't have the presence of mind to sit and say, "You know what I would love to do?" and just relax, think about the story and make sure that all the emotional beats are landing exactly where I want them to land. Have new ideas popped into your head for season two during this time?įox: You know, it's funny, the only luxury about it is the fact that we're almost done with all of the scripts of season two. We do weekly Zoom calls where we can all see each other's faces - the whole cast and some of the crew - just trying to think about happy memories, happy times we've had together and hopefully that will bridge the gap and we'll all see each other again soon. So all of us are trying to stay in touch.
It started dawning on us that this is going to take a lot longer than that. And I think, like the rest of the world, most of us initially thought, "We're just shutting down for a little while and we'll all see each other again in a couple of weeks." Everybody handled it like total champs and everyone completely understood why we needed to shut down.
IN THE DARK SEASON 2 TV
It was one of those things where was it very clear that what was going on in the world was a lot more important than one TV show. We just finished with the third episode and had just started shooting the fourth episode when we got shut down. How has that impacted everything?ĭana Fox: We were lucky enough to get a second season of the show from Apple, so we had written most of our season two episodes. ET: You were in the middle of filming season two before it was shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic.
