• How Megan’s journalism background and Nate’s experience as a director & actor influence their storytelling.
• The fast-paced changes in production and why their skillsets complement each other perfectly.
• How their Midwest upbringing shaped the show’s spooky small-town mystery vibe.

• The biggest challenges of adapting the series for television.
• How they mix supernatural elements with real-life drama.
• Their reaction to getting greenlit for Season 2 (and what it took to get there).
