Writing an email to a friend about the second half of season one of The Harbingers

A bit of an email, which reads, "we're doing this very mean, sneaky thing"

2026 so far

They just stand together, staring up at the night sky.

AMY STIRLING
You doing okay?

Adam takes a long DRAG from his cigarette. Then...

ADAM BLACKWELL
Nah. You?

AMY STIRLING
Nah. Not exactly what I had in mind
for this year.

ADAM BLACKWELL
No?

AMY STIRLING
No. I thought there’d be more...
books. I thought I’d read more this
year. More books and less...

ADAM BLACKWELL
Everything?
(she nods: yeah)

This is a special one. Not just our first Christmas special, but also our midseason finale. (Don't worry, we'll be back before you know it.)

We're also doing a few new and different things with this one. It's a different sort of Harbingers episode.

And it's final stretch is *really* magical.

A chance to let our hair down. For
once. My hair was starting to get
long at that point. Because I
think, deep down?

ADAM BLACKWELL
We all knew that 2029 was going to
be even harder. And so... when I
got the invitation in the mail, I
thought... why not?

AMY STIRLING

But - but - one of these isn’t out yet, so… how are we nominating it for the “you made so much money” award when it… hasn’t made money yet???

I finished up the scripts for Episodes 9, 10, 11, & 12 of The Harbingers yesterday.

They feature some secrets, some weird tech, some kissing, some in-universe performances, some revelations, some big speeches, and some very bad decisions.

But more than anything? They feature a lot of me trolling.

“Finger. Meet nerve.”

Boy, when I wrote this I didn’t know just what a banger Episode 7 of The Harbingers would be.

I’ve said that by the end of Episode 3, most folks will know if the show is for them or not. 💍

I think by the end of Episode 7, most people will be in love with the show. 😍
