The Order Season 3: Executive Producers “Cautiously Optimistic”
https://ift.tt/39sHvNY
The Order has been a sleeper hit for Netflix, winning over fans with its tale of a secret magical society on the campus of Belgrave University, and season two took things to the next level with the Knights of St. Christopher werewolves reluctantly joining forces with the practitioners against a common enemy. With plenty of surprising guest appearances and relationships that didn’t always go the way fans expected them to, this supernatural series has always banked on the unexpected, and the executive producers and actors got together for a virtual panel during Comic-Con@Home to talk about their process and the prospects for a season 3.
Series creator Dennis Heaton somewhat jokingly admitted that the writing process isn’t always perfectly smooth. “We sort of wrote ourselves into a corner last year, which is kind of the fun of doing a show like this,” he said during the panel. “You just sort of go, ‘Okay, where’s the biggest emotional point we can end that will result in hate mail?’ and then don’t think about it at all until we actually know we’re going to have to work on it. And then we spend the first week in the room staring at a blank wall going, ‘Uhhhhh, crud. What are we going to do?’ And then it all comes from the characters.”
Head writer and show runner Shelley Eriksen agreed that the actors’ performances in The Order season one were very helpful when the staff returned to the writers room. “A lot of what we came up with is because of things that were built in the first season and things we loved seeing our actors do and bring to it,” she said. “That’s the gift of those first few weeks when we come back is we’ve got stuff to build on that we didn’t even know we had when we were writing the series.”
The virtual panel became more festive and speculative when the cast discussed the episode in The Order season 2 when Beverly Hills, 90210 castmates Jason Priestley and Ian Ziering showed up as themselves, portraying celebrity members of the Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose. Moderator and producer Morris Chapdelaine asked the panelists what other dream guests they’d like to see, and Devery Jacobs, who plays Lilith, responded, “At one point, Randall ends up saying Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is rumored to be in the Order, and I’m just like, ‘AOC!’ I’m down for that! I’m ready to see it.”
Katharine Isabelle, who plays Grand Magus Vera Stone, inspired an interesting tangent when she suggested that Academy Award winner Cher should make an appearance as Vera’s mother. Nomadic Pictures co-chief Chad Oakes, who produces both The Order and Syfy’s Van Helsing, mentioned that he knew Cher before looking into his webcam and addressing Cher directly: “Sorry it didn’t work out on Van Helsing, but how about The Order?” Could it be that Cher had been considered for the Dracula role that ended up going to another tall actress, Tricia Helfer?

Jacobs also took a moment to address the controversy surrounding her character’s shift from being interested in fellow werewolf Randall in The Order season one to having a same-sex relationship with her handler in season two. “In season one, there wasn’t any love interest for Lilith at the beginning half,” she said, noting that at the time, the writers had not yet written the Lilith-Randall scenes. “I had made an executive decision where I was like, ‘Lilith is totally queer…’ There’s even a couple moments where it was like, ‘Oh, I loved Alyssa once — like a sister, you perverts!’ But it was like: was it? Was it really?”
As for the prospects for The Order season 3, Nomadic Pictures hopes to make an announcement soon. “We hope to find out in the next few weeks how we are doing,” said Oakes, “and I know that the fan and the audience response has been incredible. It’s been amazing! So we’re really thankful to everybody out there for watching. The love comes through in all the blogs and the reviews and everything else. So we’re cautiously optimistic, and we hope that we can have some good news soon.”

Van Helsing Season 5 Overcomes Production Challenges
https://ift.tt/30HX3JZ
After witnessing the series’ titular hero and devoted followers battle the vagaries of a global vampire pandemic for four years, Van Helsing prepares to return for its fifth and final season with a virtual appearance on a Comic-Con@Home Panel Discussion. Though short on specific plot details about the upcoming season, the cast and crew, nonetheless, give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the daunting challenges the show faces as the first television series to resume production in North America.
Of course, fans of the Syfy post-apocalyptic horror tale are most concerned with when Van Helsing will return to the air and whether the oft absent Vanessa (Kelly Overton) will resume her role as the chief vampire slayer after disappearing into a mysterious vortex in last season’s seventh episode. Executive Producer Chad Oakes revealed that though the network likely won’t make an announcement until September, its intention remains for the show to “return late fall, early winter – November, December and back on the air for season five.”
Not surprisingly, for a series whose central plot threads center on a tightly bound family of vampire killers, the cast and crew of Van Helsing stressed the importance of the family atmosphere that enabled the team to return to work while other shows remain on the sidelines. Series lead Kelly Overton remembered her first opportunity to work with newcomer Tricia Helfer (The Dark One). “She was lovely to work with. It was a crazy scene. Going into the vortex and the abyss.” 
But for Helfer, who joined the show last season, the opportunity to interpret Dracula in a new light, brought a new set of obstacles. “To start a character with that scene (descent into the vortex with Vanessa), it’s a little daunting. When you start a character, you kind of have to live in her a little bit.” 
Filming this scene also gave the younger actors a chance to learn from Overton and Helfer. Keeya King (Violet) couldn’t help but notice that “watching Kelly, five months pregnant, that was epic. Here’s this woman going full throttle, not holding back.” Her sister in the series Nicole Muñoz (Jack) took it a step further. “It was an in-person master class.”

For a series influenced by Bram Stoker’s iconic characters, the chance to start filming last January in Slovakia afforded the actors rare opportunities. “To be in these old castles, you didn’t have to use your imagination,” Helfer explained. And though all were reticent to reveal any specific details from the new season, producer Morris Chapdelaine teased that the European adventure provided “some of the most beautiful things we’ve ever shot.”
Showrunner and executive producer Jonathan Lloyd Walker explained that even though they began shooting with scripts for the entire season in hand, the pandemic forced the writers to re-examine the stories once production resumed. After shutting down filming on March 15th, they “spent 12 weeks trying to figure out how to come back safely,” Oakes said of the team now working on the show in British Columbia.
Series star Jonathan Scarfe (Axel) will not only return to help bring about an end to the vampire apocalypse, but will once again stand behind the camera directing four episodes in season five. Even though the panel wasn’t able to address any direct fan questions, Oakes teased the issue of whether a series spinoff could be in Van Helsing’s future. “I don’t want to jinx it. Never say never.”
Executive producer Mike Frislev and the rest of the cast and crew of Van Helsing give fans hope that there is a way to defeat not only the vampires but Covid-19 as well, and we now wait for Syfy to announce a firm return date for Vanessa Van Helsing and her family of slayers.
