If this is successful, is there a plan in place to do a second season?
EP David Von Ancken: The good thing is that the show is a true ensemble cast. It’s Tut’s story, but he’s really a through line to talk about the relationships between the other characters. We were careful to keep alive the various storylines and keep the option of a second season available. This season is mostly Tut and his main adviser Ay in this season. But not completely. And if you look back, historical documents tell us that after nine years as Pharoah, Tut dies at age 19. But he’s replaced immediately as Pharoah by Ay. And that’s interesting, because he’s a commoner and yet he ascends to the throne. But he only lasts three years. And if there’s a second season, it would focus on Ay and the story of his short time as Pharoah.
