Creative Control and Independent Spirit:As with the first season, season 2 was entirely self-funded and self-produced by Kila and Hansen, who opted to retain full creative control rather than partner with OTT platforms. "We believe in telling stories on our terms, and our decision to stay independent has allowed us to take creative risks that truly resonate with our audience," said co-creator Tarun Hansen.
