Promo & Interviews
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: It’s good to hear your voice. You sound… alive?
MARY STEENBURGEN: (Laughs) Mary is alive. That’s true.
When you learned about the plot to have Gail trapped in an elevator — and then that she would seemingly wind up taking her own life, what was your reaction?
I want people to experience this show without me blowing anything for them, because I hate it when people do it to me. So I’m going to be careful about Gail’s fate. But this whole experience of the show has been this crazy, creative dive that I’ve done with these people. Nothing surprises me on this show. People come and go — sometimes you don’t know what happens to them in the case of Jason Sudeikis [who plays Phil’s virus-infected brother, Mike], when we’re not 100 percent sure. Sometimes you do know in the case of Boris Kodjoe, who left the show last season after I killed him (laughs) during an appendectomy surgery.

This season has dealt with slightly darker subject matter, with all of the characters starting to deal with the end of the world in their own ways. What is it about this season that is affecting the group?
I think that we’ve shown a bit more of the world breaking down a little bit, that’s been our intention at least, so it’s just a different world now. It’s been a lot of wish fulfillment so far. Most of it has been dealing with lack of people, and now we’re throwing in a little bit more of the destruction of the infrastructure and how they deal with that, and that’s been a fun little wrinkle.
We just try to figure it out in situations that would potentially happen, things that would be really tough to deal with in this type of world. If somebody’s having some issues with mental instability, in the present world there are all kinds of doctors that tell you what to do and even if it’s something that can’t be fixed you sort of know what you’re dealing with, and maybe there’s medication that can help. But in this group its just a bunch of dimwits who have no idea what they’re doing and have no idea how to make these decisions. We’re also just getting to know the characters a bit better, and we are filling out their backstories, and some of the things are just things we've had in our minds about them all along, just pieces of information that we’ve never had a chance to bring out.
