Showrunner Kelly Marcel and author Victor LaValle discuss the season finale of Apple TV+ series 'The Changeling' and reveal that it was never intended to be an ending. They wanted viewers to be left with a sense of curiosity and anticipation. Marcel and LaValle explain that the show is about the choices parents make and how those choices impact future generations. They also discuss the exploration of parental trauma and the power of women in the narrative. The duo confirms that there is a two-season plan for the show, with season two set to answer all the questions raised in season one.
Director and executive producer Jonathan van Tulleken responds to the mixed reviews of Apple TV+'s series "The Changeling," stating that he is proud of the show's ambition and unconventional approach.
