I think it was such a groundbreaking show and it was such a big deal.

And the reason why lots of those things have been tolerated, as it were, and there'll be a lot of people who will talk about Sam Levinson, and I don't think he's the most particularly beloved person.

However, what it did is it brought in an audience that HBO just didn't have or hadn't seen.

It brought in a whole new, young, very engaged audience.

And there's a lot that can be forgiven for that.

The third season of anything is where suddenly the money becomes very difficult.

If you sign on and you'll sign on and you'll sign on for a season of something and your next season will effectively be on the same terms or maybe there's a slight uplift, but it's kind of built into the initial contract.

The third one is where they get your paydays.

But these guys have big paydays anyway.

So I think there is partly some of that.

But I also think that... I think they probably think it's iconic and they probably do feel they owe it something.

And either HBO...

or Sam Levinson himself has been very persuasive.

I mean, you might want to do lots of other things on HBO.

You might want to... There's lots of reasons why you'd come back for season three.

Some of them don't.

The red carpet for this show was amazing.

Zendaya and Sidney Sweeney, you're not going to see those two in a picture.

The red carpet, just reading about the red carpet made me laugh so much because when you're reading between the lines and you know how it works, you're thinking...

I can't actually believe what military position this must have been planned by all of their individual teams.
