Weiss recently discussed the challenges that lie ahead in the upcoming season, highlighting the wild and unpredictable nature of the story. As they navigate the complexities of the evolving plot, the creators have been hard at work crafting a narrative that promises to captivate audiences with its audacious twists and turns.
