It's nice to see everyone again but also we're like knee-deep in that. We officially finished four episodes and everything is going well so far. We're sticking to our roots but it's become much bigger and a lot more fleshed out and characters have really incredible arcs and we have incredible set pieces and storylines. It just feels a lot more exciting from the jump.
