The season kicks off with Lottie giving Travis and Natalie a little blood to drink before they head out to hunt; can you talk about what that signals to the audience? I’ll speak for myself, but I think we probably have a similar reaction: It never struck me as being about cannibalism, that moment. That was more about the rituals that Lottie is starting to almost unconsciously develop as a means of putting order over chaos.
And when it came to creating the character of adult Lottie, without spoiling episodes beyond the premiere, the show is subverting assumptions we might have made about her in Season 1. How did you approach her? What was really important for us with Lottie is that there’s a tendency to want to dichotomize characters in television and film into protagonists and antagonists, or heroes and villains. I think it’s pretty clear that we don’t have a lot of heroes in this show.
On the one hand, she’s a character who’s been engaging for a lot of her life in this sort of self-flagellation, where she’s punishing herself for the choices that she’s made. But at the same time, I think we even see it in the pilot, there’s a self-destructive instinct in her. You see it in her affair with Jeff as a teenager, you see it in some of the choices that she makes this season with regards to her family and the investigation.
And then the other thing is — and I usually don’t want to do this, talk about what almost was — but I just think it’s hilarious the amount of time that we spent both in breaking writing, and then in editing, deciding how much of the ear — like, should it go in the mouth, should it not go in the mouth? Should there be a chew? There’s a crunch, yeah. We went for it. We ultimately decided to go for it, but definitely debated endlessly. Cutting as it went up.
