The sugar producer is set to direct season 2 of the Colin Farrell series

“We would love to have a second season and we are ready to do one,” “Sugar” producer Audrey Chon told TheWrap of the Apple TV+ series Colin Farrell, which wrapped its first season on May 17.

Chon said she would like a second season to further explore the main character, now that audiences know the private detective is actually an alien.

“I would love to see the evolution of Sugar’s character. There were so many things we had to hide the ball with. There’s so much more to dig into in terms of exploring his character,” she explained.

Meanwhile, Farrell shared in a recent interview that Episode 6’s gender reveal was originally supposed to happen in the pilot.

“As you can imagine, when you have a big reveal like that, you’re going to have a wide range of reactions. But I think to a large extent it’s been very supportive. I think it seems deserved,” Chon added. “We wanted it to be elegant, grounded and very humanistic, which I think we managed to achieve. I feel like people appreciate the way it was done.

She noted that the blending of film noir and science fiction genres “felt really fresh and inventive.”

Chon continued, “It was very organic to see the PI and the alien reveal blend together in a way. We love how easy it is to interchange them, and it would work, because you see the world through a very distinct perspective.

She further confirmed that a second season would include Sugar searching for Henry (Jason Butler Harner), a friend and fellow alien who – spoiler – ended up being the one behind Olivia’s (Sydney Chandler) kidnapping, and perhaps the disappearance of Sugar’s sister. Also.

“But there would be other elements of Season 1 that we love and would obviously continue as well,” she said.

Chon also praised Farrell, who was “top of our list” for the role, saying, “He’s so dynamic.” He feels like a classic leader. And he just has this inherent charm and all the qualities that we love about Sugar as a human being, really.

She added: “I think he has this timeless leading man quality, he feels incredibly worldly. He’s smart, but he also has this vulnerability. And this really soulful side to him, which I think makes him accessible and also makes him foreign in some ways.

Chon couldn’t say whether Farrell or Season 1 director Fernando Meirelles have been signed on for additional seasons, but it’s likely a sequel would still use clips from classic film noir, like “The Lady of Shanghai.”

“Fernando really found a beautiful balance between the two things, which makes it look incredibly modern, but at the same time an homage to film noir,” she said of the way classic films “have elegantly enhanced the moments from Sugar’s point of view.

Season 1 of “Sugar” is now streaming on Apple TV+.
