“I’m the one that made the call to the network, which is probably the greatest call they ever got. ‘Hey, I need to make more episodes to finish this story. I need to do this in two blocks. An eight-episode block and a second eight-episode block to wrap this up. I can’t wrap it up in two episodes and do the story justice,’” Sheridan explained.
Sheridan added that Ford and Mirren were “excited” and “eager” to do a second season.
“Harrison made a comment at one point, he goes, ‘Taylor I think I’m making the best thing I’ve made in 20 years. And my response to him was, ‘What the f— did you make 20 years ago as good as this?’”
