Michael Sheen, the main cast and the writers of Prodigal Son have attended a virtual panel at Paley Front Row, where they discussed the second season, to premiere on FOX next Monday 12. You can watch it here or here.
Paley Front Row presented by Citi (2021). Stars and creators of Fox’s Prodigal Son (Tom Payne, Michael Sheen, Bellamy Young, Lou Diamond Phillips, Halston Sage, Aurora Perrineau, Keiko Agena, Frank Harts, Chris Fedak, and Sam Sklaver) gather with moderator Kevin Frazier to celebrate their show. Topics include: how COVID-19 affected season one, including their relief at having shot the finale first; the shocking twist in which Ainsley became her killer father’s “child #1”; Jessica and Gil’s complicated relationship; Dani’s father/daughter bond with mentor Gil; Edrisa’s sense of humor in disturbing scenarios; hints about an upcoming moment deemed “the funniest scene so far”; how the “twisted” writers invent unique and creative murders for each episode; Sheen’s encounters with eager Welsh fans while in lockdown; Sage’s study of Barbara Walters’ interview tactics for Ainsley; Payne’s awe at how much the show “can get away with”; the challenge of rehearsing together while safely masked; and assurances that the show won’t be “subtle” with answers and reveals in season two.
Here are some screencaptures from the panel:
