Noelle Stevenson: The feelings definitely set in in lots of ways. Has it set in yet that everything is coming to a close, everything's wrapping up? It's a little crazy to me still that we've had all these episodes play out in just the space of 18 months. You mentioned talking about how long you've been with the show in pre-production and going through your pitch process and all that. Noelle Stevenson: She's our wild card, for sure.Įxactly, which you have to have one, at least. Because anytime Shadow Weaver shows up on screen, I focus in just a little bit more to just be like, "Okay, what kind of craziness is coming up next or what direction they are going in now?" I feel like that definitely comes across from a fan perspective, too. Just trying to follow those threads into the most interesting places we can. I never really know what she's going to be doing in any given season. I feel like Shadow Weaver's always one of those characters. It feels that they always surprise me or they end up doing their own thing in a way that I didn't expect. Noelle Stevenson: I always just try to stay in tune with where the characters are, where it feels like they're going. There definitely were still surprises and evolutions along the way. It was really great to be able to just have this roadmap in place to know where the show was going and where the characters were going in broad strokes. And then, I pitched them the second chunk of 26 episodes and they picked up that second season. Netflix had already picked up the first 26 even before I pitched it. Basically, when I pitched the show, I pitched it as if it were 52 episodes. But for us, it was basically a two season order, so two seasons of 26 episodes. I don't think we knew from the start how many shows would be in each season. Noelle Stevenson: The plan was only for 52 episodes. That takes me to my next question, kind of a nuts-and-bolts question, but was the plan always for a five season run to bring She-Ra to a close? If so or if not, were there any major changes along the way?
