“We talk about it, we have ideas.”
“We talked about it last night and we had some great ideas. It’s not always normal for Netflix to do the second part, they don’t always do it, but we feel like with this one we we have a great chance to know how everyone reacts to it already. They react to the trailer, they react to the screenings and things like that. And it’s fun, you know what I’m saying, so I think we will definitely try to make it happen and I think if they do it will be even better.

Personally, I can’t wait to see more of this cast together and the movie.
