According to these two, Season 3 is going to be all about re-evaluation.
you’re able to read the full interview below, or watch the video above.
COLLIDER: Do you find now that Rob is in a better mood when Wrexham is doing better?
NAOMI EKPERIGIN: Absolutely.
DANNY PUDI: 100%.
That’s his adopted children.

I’ve also enjoyed that show,Welcome to Wrexham, but that’s a whole other thing.
Just want to get it out of the way.
What was it like reading the script for the first time for the movie?
Image via AppleTV+
Have you started filming?
Are you filming soon?
PUDI:In my mind, reading the script is wonderful.

There’s no script here.
No, but we’ve had a lot of meetings.
We’ve had some discussions about the story and it all sounds really exciting.
We’re really pumped.
We’re kind of in the early stages of it right now, but everyone is pumped.
It’ll be fun.
Yeah, I’m very thankful that it’s actually happening.
Jumping into why I get to talk to the two of you.
So what do you want to tease fans in terms of what they can look forward to?
EKPERIGIN: I think that in Season 3 you are seeing new alliances.
You’re seeing people grappling with their power.
Carol trying her best to make it work.
She has what she thinks she wants, Steve, but these people are crazy.
So how do you manage those two, I would say.
That’s my little tease.
PUDI: That’s right.
But what is success?
I think this season is a lot of characters grappling with achievement.
I think that’s kind of the fun thing about all the characters this year.
I think our show dives into the characters a little bit.
It’s a little bit more of character-dives into each person really thinking about their wants.
What do they want this year?
And truly, is that the real want?
EKPERIGIN: Ah, yes.
PUDI: Is that the real thing that they should be pursuing?
EKPERIGIN: And Brad’s a janitor.
PUDI: And I’m a janitor.
I have so many things to say about that, but who wants to explain what a HODI is?
it’s possible for you to’t be saying these whole titles the whole time.
You got to get a little, you know?
PUDI: I remember last year Brad at one time said, the POS.
Then I remember reading it being like, “What is POS?”
And then I was like, “Oh, he doesn’t even say piece of shit anymore.”
He doesn’t have time to say that anymore.
Break it down, make it an acronym, get through it.
Let’s get the money.
I wasn’t sure where the season was going to go when Brad gets released from jail.
He obviously gets released from jail.
So what is it like playing Brad where you’re not sure if he’s good or bad?
And it could go both ways.
PUDI: Yes, that’s the dance.
The answer is sometimes I don’t know.
And it’s fun because it’s a fun game for me as an actor to play.
How much do I want to reveal here?
How much do I not want to?
And honestly, where’s the camera?
That’s a fun dance for me because I think Brad is this schemer.
Honestly, sometimes I don’t either.
So that’s the fun dance is to see what the game is right now.
I’m curious if she’s told either of you.
EKPERIGIN: Oh my.
Steve, do you have information?
PUDI: Did she tell you what it is?
Or she just said she knows?
I don’t want to know as a fan, I want to get there naturally.
I’m just curious-
PUDI: I’m the same way.
I don’t know if I want to know that.
I like to discover things in the moment.
I would like to know a little bit more about Brad’s backstory.
I think that would be interesting for me to know a little bit more about.
I have questions about who hurt him.
But I don’t want to know the end because I like to be surprised.
For both of you, what was your reaction when you saw the set for Grim Studios?
Because it’s really nice.
The production design really went for it.
EKPERIGIN: Yes, it was.
Stepping onto that set felt like going into a portal to another world.
I was like, Oh, this is probably what Ian’s brain looks like.
That’s his mind palace.
And it has that feel to it.
PUDI: Yeah, we have booties.
EKPERIGIN: When you walk into GrimPop, there are different rules there.
It was just really cool.
