Doom Patrol<\/em> family again for Season Three?<\/h2>\nOh my god it\u2019s amazing. It’s amazing because we thought it was the end of the world, so when it wasn’t we were really delighted. Also this season, I feel like the story is very special. Sometimes I feel like a lot of shows kind of fall apart in Season Three because they haven’t quite found their footing, but our show really shines in Season Three. So, to get the scripts, week after week we were super stoked.<\/p>\n
What makes Season Three stand out for you?<\/h2>\n
We have this unity. Everyone is really coming into their own this season, and there are no excuses. Everyone is facing what they need to do. It’s like the climactic part of a movie they were like, ‘go, go, go!’ Also, we have an introduction to a new character named Madame Rouge and she shocks the Doom Patrol into a completely different world. Not to mention there’s some time travelling this season, which is fascinating, and they made it work! Time travel is such a confusing construct, but they did it!<\/p>\n
The gang had a tough time in Season Two. How are they for this season?<\/h2>\n
Not great. Everyone’s a little scattered to the wind, but in a sense it needed to happen because I think that we relied so much on Niles that it was impeding our growth. We kept going back to a dysfunctional person to get functional and that never really worked so now we’re on our own and I think that freedom is really good for the team. Although, obviously, things happen, and we have challenges.<\/p>\n
Are they still quite reluctant to be superheroes?<\/h2>\n
Yep! Even in episode three of our new season, poor Vic is like ‘come on, there’s Garguax, there’s the Brotherhood of Evil, something weird is going on!’ and Crazy Jane is like, ‘we’re not a superhero team dude!’ haha. So it’s still resistance, resistance, resistance. And of course, with that resistance, everything falls apart, because we have to stand up and fight for our lives!<\/p>\n
We saw Rita take more of a leadership role in Series Two – do we see more of that this season?<\/h2>\n
Yes! Dare I say Rita is the<\/em> leader of the season! It\u2019s very exciting! I mean you’ll have to tell me, but from my point of view I feel like she definitely takes charge. I think she’s had too many false starts, and I think she’s frustrated at this point. She gets challenged one too many times and she just takes her fate into her own hands and makes things happen and leads the way. She makes big choices without apologising for them. There are consequences to that but she really shines this year.<\/p>\n
