For Ridley, deepening a bond with the show’s diverse ensemble as well as not being complacent, are two reasons why this upcoming season might surpass the show’s previous heights.

“In the third season, I believe, and people can speak to it, it’s been even more interesting because there’s been more of a partnership in looking at what we’ve done in the past.  How do we avoid characterizations that we played perhaps last year, two years ago?  How do we find new territory for everyone to play, just as actors, separated from anything else that we’re presenting to people?  And, for me, it’s been very enjoyable, and I would love for anybody to speak to their experiences in finding these characters that are different from characters you’ve played but unique to the circumstances within the show itself. “ John Ridley
