“They were excited,” he told the outlet. “They only signed on originally for one season. They were so eager to continue it … Harrison made a comment at one point, he goes, ‘Taylor I think I’m making the best thing I’ve made in 20 years.’ And my response to him was, ‘What the f— did you make 20 years ago as good as this? What was that? I missed that one.
What was it?'”Harrison later commented on a season 2 return to in February, agreeing with Taylor’s sentiments.
“[] came along, and then, very quickly after that, came along,” he explained about his work schedule. “I took the job without a script on both of them, on faith that the people who created the projects were going to deliver me a good script. I really didn’t realize how much work was going to be, and I absolutely feel it’s worth it.”
