Promo & Interview
On the Farm timeline, it’s a little bit like episode 5 — it’s a caper, and Javier Muñoz — who plays Hamilton on Hamilton now — is in the episode, and that’s really fun.
How and when will the switch to a single timeline take place?
The single timeline actually starts in episode 13 — it doesn’t start in 14. Episode 14 could be a new pilot. If you’ve never seen the show before, you could walk right in and not have any trouble following a single thing. It is brand new. That’s why we’re set [from changing more of the story to reflect the political landscape], because the structure of episode 14 is so crystal clear without a single moment of confusion anywhere.
Safran: Marcia Cross is in the next episode and then she’s in the episodes thereafter. She talks about how she wouldn’t have been voted in but is given the job because of the president stepping down, and that forces her to show who she is. We shot it five days after the election and it was hard for Marcia. She went to Hillary's concession speech and then she was here the next day. The story didn’t change, but it changed. It was rough, but it’s a beautiful story. We knew the president was going to step down and that she was going to become president and we knew she was going to talk about being a woman who wouldn’t have been elected, but suddenly, five days after the election, it was this whole other thing.
What was the mood like filming that scene?
Cameron Litvack: We as writers and Marcia as a performer were all yearning for a story with a sense of hope. So we were able to provide Marcia with this opportunity to have that character go to a different place than we had initially thought when we created that character last season. When you see how that story unfolds and the role Marcia takes in the show moving forward, you’ll see where most shows might have kept going on the trajectory with her, we zagged a little bit to take in what’s happening.
