Glamour: The primary episode has so many shockers—thanks partly to the time soar—that my jaw was on the ground. What was the explanation behind that call?

Sheryl Anderson: That response proper there, to have folks realizing, Oh, issues have occurred, issues have modified. Wait, what? They’re nonetheless collectively? Wait, what? They don’t seem to be collectively? As a result of it is season 4, and we all know all people higher, and we hope the viewers trusts us extra, we wished to have a bit enjoyable with shaking issues up.

Cal and Maddie are usually not solely engaged, however they get married by the second episode. Have been you nervous that followers can be disillusioned to not see a Cal and Maddie engagement?

No, as a result of they’ve been so swoonily in love from the second they met that we thought that seeing an engagement interval was in the end much less pleasurable than, “Shock, we’re getting married!”

That was positively a shock, and it made the Halloween episode so enjoyable. How did you resolve on that?

We wished to do a marriage, however not a traditional marriage ceremony. Dana Sue and Ronnie’s vow renewal was sort of traditional, and we did not wish to comply with that with one other church marriage ceremony as principally the subsequent episode. So we had been like, “How can we shake this up?” Folks within the author’s room had been like, “It is a shock.” And since I had stated, “Let’s begin [the season] at Halloween and finish at Christmas,” and we had been going to be filming at the moment of 12 months had we not needed to cease due to the strikes, we had been like, “Let’s make the most of it.”

We wound up capturing out of season, due to the schedule change, nevertheless it’s additionally a season we’ve not seen but. It isn’t all the time summer season in Serenity. We wished to indicate a unique time of 12 months in Serenity, and the interval from Halloween to Christmas is my favourite. It elevates feelings, as a result of all people desires every part to be particular whilst you’re celebrating.

In between Halloween and Thanksgiving, Serenity will get hit by a large hurricane. Given what’s happened in Los Angeles and North Carolina the final a number of months, I’ve to think about episodes like this tackle extra which means now.

Put up-hurricane in Serenity, we wished to indicate the folks we love loving their neighborhood and being beneficiant and compassionate. Sure, there are moments the place the world appears to be falling aside, and that is why it is essential for us as people, and as teams, to face up for and assist the individuals who want it, no matter how effectively we all know them, and no matter what our relationship was with them earlier than. The one manner we will transfer ahead, as associates, as neighborhood, as a nation, is to like and help one another.
