The creators of Showtime comedy Black Monday will find no inspiration for Season 3.
Written through David Caspe and Jordan Cahan, the series brings audiences to October 19, 1987, also known as Black Monday, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost nearly 22% on a day without getting married. To this day, no one knows who caused it, until now. The screen shows an organization of foreigners that collided with the former Wall Street children’s club and ended up crushing the world’s largest monetary system, a Lamborghini limousine and a glass roof.
During a panel at Deadline’s Virtual Contenders Television event, Don Cheadle, who plays self-destructive banker Maurice Monroe, joined publisher and television critic Dominic Patten to talk about the original curtains for a possible season 3, albeit without spoilers.
“Unfortunately, there is no shortage of inventory market due to slowdowns, falls, recessions you want to talk about from here to now,” Cheadle said. “If we jump to the ’90s, we can see what it would be fun to do with fashion and music, they’re such massive elements for the exhibition, so I think we can move anywhere. But as for the fate of the characters, who knows? Mo [of Cheadle] sits in his empire; they gave spray paint on the wall. Blair [Andrew Rannells] has a dead senator at the bottom of his life. Paul Scheer [who plays Keith Shankar] is at Dawn [Regina Hall] suddenly takes him for the collapse of the on-site inventory market. I think once we’re back we’ll be out of the water, so who knows.”
Cheadle also spoke about the ordinary occasions of 2020, adding the COVID-19 pandemic and national protests after The death of George Floyd, and its impact on the now-evolving film and television projects we’ll see in the next two. Years.
“This is a moment in history that none of us had noticed before, dead or alive today, has not experienced this kind of supercharged, overburdened, overcharged, supercharged social media through our ability to know what happened around the world in two seconds,” he said. “I’m looking ahead to see what’s coming out in a year or two.”
Black Monday is a co-production of Showtime and Sony Pictures TV. David Caspe, Jordan Cahan, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are the producers. Andrew Rannells, Regina Hall and Paul Scheer are also on the lineup.
