The Knockturnal: So Midnight Texas season 2 how excited are you guys?
Arielle: So excited I mean episode 4 is on tonight and the response has been amazing so far. I feel like our fans have supported us since day one and I feel like now we are hitting the middle of the season we are getting to the meat of the season so I’m excited to see what people think.
The Knockturnal: What is the difference between the this season and the last? What can you tell me about both?
Francois: I think one of the great things about doing television is that you can look at it take a step back and come back to it with like adjusting things. I think there’s a lot of things that worked in the first season but I think we’re just like owning the fact that it’s a really intense show. It’s a wild ride but it’s also very tongue and cheek and smart and I think we’re just like embracing all of that and I think the second season goes to – well at least to me- completely unexpected places. It goes really dark and real insane and somehow still makes sense.
The Knockturnal: I heard that there is a Weretiger situation going on. What can you tell me about that? Who’s idea was it.
Francois: Yeah so that’s in the books that it was adapted from. He looks great on the show.
Arielle: Well the Weretiger was a very expensive Weretiger.
Francois: He can’t be on too often,
Arielle: Season one it was the special effects team from Life of Pi so we had like as legit as it gets when it comes to Weretiger special effects.
