Carney, known for his signature melancholy romanticism, serves as executive producer, writer, and director on several episodes.
During the interview with EW, Carney revealed that the creative process of season 2 was different because, with season 1’s feedback, they had a lot more information on what they should or should not do this time around.
What can we listen to? What can we persevere with from the first season that we didn’t get right or get a little closer to how we wanted it? With such thoughts in mind, Carney went through a similar process like season 1, in terms of choosing the essays and the love stories to include for season 2.
The show’s creators were careful in ensuring that the series was inclusive and featured diverse kinds of love, ones that defied certain social class expectations or financial brackets.
And in doing so, the stories took them outside Manhattan. Some episodes were filmed in Dublin and one in London.
