Will Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll die or live for Season 3?
With FX to make a decision in the coming weeks, creator/star Denis Leary has teased the more serialized nature and trajectory of the show’s second season, which comes to an ‘explosive’ end, no doubt leaving the door open for a third season, per Collider:
I wanted to get more serialized. I had this idea for an event that would click onto everybody’s mortality. I said, “I want somebody to die.” Fortunately for me, when I was toying with that idea, John Landgraf, who’s the head of FX but also a very smart executive, came up with the idea of the ashes in the maracas. He called me up and said, “Listen, what about this, they get the ashes in a box and when they get them, they shake them and they sound like maracas.” And I was like, “Okay, now I’ve got my throughline.” That maracas storyline haunts us, all the way to the end. There’s a hopefully very funny ending to that story in Episode 10.
Continuing, he adds:
We’re all so selfishly involved in wanting to be famous. Ava takes a step forward this year and gets into the spotlight, and it fucks with Johnny. The strange thing is, by the end of the year and almost by attrition, Johnny and Gigi end up closer than ever. Right around Episode 7, you start to see that Johnny and Gigi are bonding, and then, by the time we get to the end of the season, it’s Johnny and Gigi and her mom, who comes back in for Episodes 9 and 10, that get really tight. Everybody else explodes off into their own solo projects, which is really interesting.
