Alison Schapker, AlteredCarbon season two showrunner, talks about the ways in which the drama continues exploring individuality in a world of immortality
was already mapping out season two. The idea was that this was going to be an anthology series but one that also had extensive continuity and rewarded viewers on a season-by-season basis as far as Takeshi Kovacs' journey. In season one, we saw him walk out of the Raven on a search for Quellcrist Falconer. It felt like a promise was made to the audience, that he was going to find her, and that she may be out there in a new season.
And ghosts are operative across the board. If you live on forever, think about the amount of baggage you bring with you. That baggagelifetime. Now think aboutlifetimes. The reckoning gets all that more overdetermined. It's the idea that we all have to make peace with things we did in the past. It's relatable to everyone, but in, it's literalized. Sometimes, your past self or people from your long ago past actually exist and are angry and externalized and are coming to get you.
That was a huge action Tak took at the end of season one. It was not going to go down easily. It's not something you just digest. In season one, he carried Quell around as this figment in his mind. Reileen was present in the world. In season two, here's Quell back in the flesh, and Reileen is haunting him. Kovacs has to reckon with the climax of season one, killing his sister. It felt very moving to all of us, and certainly to me. It's this unfinished business he has with himself.
