So, everything about it, I feel like we kind of had a little bit more trust, and therefore, we felt like we could do bigger, more elaborate sequences, which is nice.” Whereas Netflix hasn’t formally ordered a 3rd season of the present but, Ortega did say she thinks the writers are already discussing concepts.
