TV Fanatic: What’s the goal going into season four?
Sunil Nayar: I think that one of the overarching goals in sort of this process, and one of those that’s really, I have to say, wonderful, is that we’re a fourth year show and this network has so much other great stuff coming up and just to have kind of the amazing support of the network all the way up to Paul [Lee, President], who’s still such a giant fan of the show.
I think the season premiere is going to be full of surprises, full of unexpected payoffs to our cliffhangers and I think the big question that we’re looking to answer this year as Emily and Victoria and as David comes back this year is that people are asked to change who they are yet again and that is really the battle of who people have been.
Emily has been Emily Thorne for so long and the idea is what does it mean to be Amanda to her? Victoria’s been next to Conrad for so long and what does it mean for her to be a free woman now? David’s been wherever David’s been for so long and what does it mean to be back in the world? And so I think one of the things that we are fascinated to explore is to figure out who our people are and who they really are struggling to try to be and who they’re actually capable of being.
TVF: Are we getting a direct pickup or has some time passed?
SN: There’s a lot going on and like this show always does, there’s like little bits of time jumps so we always think there’s sort of the fun things to embrace as we jump forward. So I think you’ll see where the episode picks up. We found a perfect spot to do it.
TVF: What can you say about David? Will we get filled in on where he’s been all this time or not right away?
SN: It’s a bit of a slow burn. There’s so much that we want to slowly mine and we want our audience learning who David is along with our characters in some ways, so we didn’t feel like burning off a lot of the story because we have some wonderful story to tell, but it’ll be a slow burn. You’ll get your answers in sort of little bits and pieces, where he’s been and what he’s done over the last ten years.
TVF: Will the characters know pretty quickly that he’s around or is he going to be lurking for a while?
SN: Certain people come to be aware of his presence. People will become aware of his existence very quickly and some people will become aware of his existence much later.
TVF: I have to say this because the finale was just so good but I want to see Victoria in the mental hospital for a while and just see her go through some Cuckoo Nest stuff. Do we get that?
SN: I think that you will be not disappointed with where you take up with Victoria.
TVF: There have been some kind of early casting announcements with some new characters coming in. can you kind of talk about some of these new characters and how they’ll fit into the world?
TVF: Do we find that out Conrad’s fate in the first episode?
SN: Yeah, you’ll absolutely find that out in the first episode.
There's an extensive interview on TV Fanatic, Revengers definitely check that out.
