Speaking toTHR, co-showrunner Craig Mazin admitted he knew there’d be an intense reaction to Joel’s death from viewers.
“It’s important that people be upset but also that they now connect to the characters in the show who are just as upset, if not more so, than they are. What do they do? Also, characters that we think are gone are not always gone,” he explained.
“But I’m not concerned that ratings will fall off the edge of a cliff, I don’t think that’s how it works. I also know how powerful the rest of this story is and also how invested we are in these other relationships. But Joel will always be there.”
