Cruel Summer

I'm just creatively outputting, working, going, oh, OK, I'm working on television right now.

I'm doing The Sinner and doing, you know, Cruel Summer and Candy and, you know, all these things.

And you blink and nine years has passed.

And I've just been working and producing on television.

And I think that could still be at play.

But when I watched these two episodes, I also thought, okay, this reminds me maybe a little bit of Cruel Summer Season 1.

By the way, Cruel Summer Season 2, just absolute garbage.

But I kind of like that I can't come up with a lot of comps, which makes me think that this show does feel like something original.

And it's TVMA, so it's not necessarily like for my 12-year-old daughter, although I'd probably let her watch it, maybe minus the whole dolphin situation.

She also did voice work as Stacy in MTV's Daria.

We saw her in Cruel Summer, but we were really talking about the Apple TV adaptation of of Amber Brown, who, much like the Sisters Grimm, was originally a series, a book, you know, a children's book series.

That's what I'm trying to say.

So part two, a little rewind here back from 2022.

is there more journey there for you

there could be I I've never I've never fully you know closed the door um in my heart in any way I think that there's definitely more story to tell with uh April and Jackson in Boston but um As of now, you know, it just lives in the imaginations of the fans.

Well, that and I'll quickly compliment you, too, on a cruel summer.

That was such a powerful season that we've had out on that one.

He was nine or 10 at the time.

And then, uh, three or four years ago I got offered to play this guy on, on this show called Cruel Summer, which is really about these kind of young 18 to 22-year-old kids in a murder and da-da.

And like I was like the dad and kind of the business c- well, business guy in the town and, and pl- definitely a dad role.

And I, and I was like, "And who are the, who are playing my sons?" And sure enough, it was Griffin Gluck and blah, blah, blah.

...

Better, Better Sister, Candy, Cruel Summer, um-

You had to work with that, that Liz Banks gal on Better Sister, though.

How did you get through that?
