She then decides to hire her chaotic best friend Jo (Industry(‘s Elena Saurel) in the role, and even more hilarity ensues, with plenty of poignant moments as well.

Written by Harris and Getty, the series is inspired by the couple’s real-life friendship and Harris’ experience of being assisted by Getty.

“The whole series is still fictionalized. Everything is inspired by experiences, but nothing has really been recreated from our lives there, other than Shit gets in my face at strange times,” Getty told PinkNews exclusively.

That said, future seasons will continue to reflect Harris’ experiences, particularly as a queer and disabled person of color.

“Being queer cannot be extracted from any part of my life and experience,” she explained.

“It’s also really interesting to me – and I think it’s something we could explore – is that sometimes in queer spaces it’s not very, it’s not accessible, and sometimes in accessible spaces, it’s not very queer friendly.”

While Freya and Abe’s heterosexual relationship is one of the central dynamics of season one, season two is about to be a lot fruitier.

“We always wanted to include as many queer storylines as possible in the show, and (after we made the first season) we were always like, ‘Oh my God, that’s so straight,'” Harris laughed.

“There are so many things we had to put together in the first season,” Getty added. “We’re like, ‘Oh my God, can’t we just like… OK, so she’s married, she’s divorced.’ Now let’s move on to the queer dating scene, you know? But the next season is coming.

They then announced that they would make seasons two and three much gayer.

Harris then explained why We may regret it is inherently queer, far from the sexuality of its characters.

“I almost feel like being disabled is the strangest experience you can have, because being queer also comes from the word of a different, strange outsider. I think this is an issue that people with disabilities still face on a daily basis,” she shared.

While the now infamous piss in face scene is one of the only experiences directly from Harris and Getty’s friendship, seasons two and three will see them continue to mine their friendship for comedy gold.

“We’ve barely scratched the roof. I mean, we have so many experiences that we’ve had over 20 years of friendship, and sometimes we don’t even remember it,” Getty said.

“And we continue to create these experiences,” Harris added. “There is so much content that continues to come to us. »
