It finally happened: Kevin found another righteous soul.
However, another righteous soul wasnt the only thing they discovered in Laos.
There was that whole Yvette-Tyler flirtation, and lets not forget everything happening back home with Amy and Nate.
EW spoke withKevinshowrunners Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters about the hour and what comes next.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I did not expect the righteous soul to be a newborn baby.
Was that always the plan?TARA BUTTERS:[It was] very early on.
And then we said no.
I think we did it as a way to hide the ball.
We didnt want it to be obvious who it was.
BUTTERS:I like where Kevin gets to before the babys born.
Thats when hes all in hes all in for just changing his point of view.
FAZEKAS:Its about the journey.
BUTTERS:It was a nice thing for him to get to emotionally before he actually has the win.
And it wont take nine episodes to get to the next [righteous soul].
I have a feeling Tyler isnt just going to drop his love for Yvette.FAZEKAS:Youre not wrong.
That actually starts a little story that spans multiple episodes in a way that is maybe unexpected.
Somebody like Tyler is of course going to fall for a celestial being because hes such a pure soul.
It makes perfect sense.
It will have interesting complications moving forward.
As we meet other righteous souls, will we follow their stories at all?
Might they become recurring characters?FAZEKAS: We havent planned on that.
But the stories that we tell are still through Kevin.
A lot of our personal stories are started with episode 9.
Im really excited about the stories that we have coming up.
FAZEKAS:The more episodes we do, the richer these characters get.
And its not the last time well see Will Sasso.
BUTTERS:Our entire cast only gets better and better with every episode.
Theyre up for everything.
BUTTERS:It does happen a lot.
