"You're the Worst" season 2 premiere is yet to be revealed. The only sure thing about the show's return so far is that it will move to FX's sister network FXX.
At the ATX Festival panel, series creator Stephen Falk somehow shed some light regarding the romantic-comedy show's sophomore run and what to expect from the relationship of Jimmy Shive-Overly (Chris Geere) and Gretchen Cutler (Aya Cash).
Falk did not speak about "You're the Worst" season 2 premiere but shared a lot of things about the lead characters. One noticeable description he made about the second season is that it will be 'weirder and darker.'
"This season gets weirder and darker. We are going to be tackling a BIG issue and it's not an issue that's necessarily funny; it's kind of the opposite (laughs)," Falk said during the event held Friday.
"We're tackling that from the beginning of the second act, which I consider episode five all the way through. It's something when I pitched season to [FX boss] John Landgraf and team, they were understandably a little cautions but never tried to get me to back off it. They gently reminded me to make sure it was still fun, and I think we've found a way to do it."
When pressed what will this issue be in "You're the Worst" season 2, Falk say he can't talk about it yet but was kind enough to give a clue.
"I can't yet. It's something very widespread and something a lot of people I know are dealing with and something a lot of people in general deal with. We're trying something a little more difficult."
The show will also welcome new characters although it is not yet sure whether they will appear in "You're the Worst" season 2 premiere. However, Falk assures that these new faces will play important role in the lives of Jimmy and Gretchen.
"Yes and yes! He's definitely a big part of season two and we will meet Amy, the girl he meets on a home brew chat room. We have a lot of fun new characters this season, with three major recurring characters [including Collette Wolfe as Edgar's new friend]."
