As discussed in a chat with Deadline, retirement is not something that creator Chuck Lorre or star Michael Douglas are considering after TheKominskyMethod wraps
The pair discussed the evolution of the half-hour comedy, which stars Douglas as aging former actor-turned-acting coach Sandy Kominsky and his agent and friend Norman Newlander from their respective homes in New York and California.
I remember saying to Michael and the end of our first season, and I absently turned to him said ‘I think I could do this better’, and really what that was about was not insisting that words communicate but the actors communicate the storyline in their performance, and knowing that the camera is close enough to see it and that there’s no reason to see it and say it.
DEADLINE: There’s more hope and less melancholy in the second season, particularly with the new relationships with Jane Seymour’s character and Paul Reiser’s character. Was that intentional?Yes. Very much so. The first season was very much, melancholy is the word to use, that’s the right word. It was about loss and recovering from loss, and I wanted to find a way in the second season to present hope as the thing, that life will surprise you and present opportunity.
DEADLINE: Retirement is also a theme in this season. There’s a great line about how retirement is like taking a toaster to the bath. Is that how you guys see it, keep working until you can’t?: It certainly is for me.
