What’s Happening:
- In a story about the upcoming third and final season of Shrill, Variety revealed that all eight episodes of the new season will premiere on Hulu on May 7th.
- Based on the novel Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman by Linda West, the three seasons act as a beginning, middle and end of Annie’s story, played by Aidy Bryant, who also served as an executive producer.
- In the article, Bryant explains that her character’s main arc has been about self confidence, a storyline that can’t ever truly be resolved. In that regard, the series could’ve gone on longer.
- While the creators weren’t planning to end the show after three seasons, Hulu gave the team enough of a heads up to craft the final season in such a way that they could wrap up all plotlines.
- Rather than focusing on romantic relationships, the final season focused more on the everlasting friendship of Annie and Fran.
- Written and filmed after the pandemic started, the creative team had to rethink their approach to filming the third season, setting most of the action on sets rather than on location and scaling back scenes originally conceived as taking place in a large group.
