Servant Interview: M. Night Shyamalan talks about Season 3

Servant has been one of the freakiest and bizarre series to grace our televisions in recent memory. A collaboration between AppleTV+, series creator Tony Basgallop, and director M. Night Shyamalan, Servant tells the story of Dorothy and Sean Turner, a couple dealing with the death of their infant son, Jericho. To appease Dorothy’s guilt, they hire a nanny to watch a lifelike doll. But, Leanne (Nell Tiger Free) is more than a nanny. Over two seasons, Servant has introduced supernatural elements, a cult, and a lot of good food. With the third season, the stakes are raised as everything finally seems to be normalizing for the Turners and Leanne but secrets find a way of coming out.

I recently got the chance to talk to the cast of Servant including Nell Tiger Free and Lauren Ambrose. Lauren discussed how this season changes for Dorothy as she gets to play with her psyche and the world around her unraveling a bit more. Nell Tiger Free talks about how she got to do so much more with Leanne this year which freed up more character choices for her as an actress. Check out what they had to say in the video above.
