Madden Talks
“So I’m very keen to work with Jed and work out how to move on the next bit of the story. But we decided we’re not going to rush it and shoot something this year.
“We’re going to give it a breath and do it justice. If we come back to do another one, I want to do something as different as the first series was, and not just repeat the cycle, repeat the formula.
“I want to do something totally different and I’m excited to see what Jed comes up with in that way.”
It seems like Richard Madden is more than happy with the situation.
“I think, with the nature of the story, to have this gap where you let David grow a bit,” he said. “I think it’s going to be really useful.”
It really does sound like it’s going to happen – after that long break.
