So, what’s up with Deb? Why is she not as innocent as we might have thought. Amy made it sound like Deb was just like her.
Here’s what they had to say about that in one of the above interviews:
TVLINE | And poor Deb got killed before we found out what she did. Will we find out next week?
HOROWITZ | That would be the line that sets up Season 2 — should there be one.
TVLINE | Are we looking at a cliffhanger next week, or will things be wrapped up neatly?
HOROWITZ | I’d say the finale wraps up the story of Season 1 and hopefully satisfies the audience in answering all of the questions we set up for this season’s story, while acknowledging that there’s a bigger story at play that hopefully we go to on and tell more stories from Camp Stillwater throughout the years. The approach of this series is that each series would be a different summer at the camp in a different era.
KITSIS | We’re very inspired by Fargo, the anthology. People will be connected. Season 2 would be 1970, the summer Deb was a counselor … and there could potentially be a Season 3 set in 2004 where one of these kids — if anyone survives — is now the director.
Honestly, I’m intrigued with the idea of having other Seasons set in different eras. However, based on the ratings, I just don’t think Freeform will renew it. Is this going to be like Wonderland, where the quality suddenly really ramps up too little too late? While I did enjoy Wonderland as a whole, I still admit that the initial batch of episodes dragged on a bit. Still better than the earlier episodes of Dead of Summer, but the overall idea remains the same.
