That's when the show calls you,” the executive producer Elwood Reid you are only told Us Weekly May 2025. “The challenge is when you learn about them, which I thought was interesting. That's the challenge of the program to not get into a mold.”

With this guy, what makes him likable is that he's a mystery to him,” he added. “He is an enigma to the audience. We see him in his spare time piecing together pieces of his past.”

The biggest improvement we've made this year – in my opinion – was getting people in the same room. Just that connection, I think the audience enjoys seeing their characters in the same physical place.”
