“I’m so excited for season four“, confides Deborah Kahn, the creator of the series Tudum. “This is going to be a lot of fun. You get to the end of the season and I always think, “Well, we can’t do that again.” And then we dive back into it and it’s like, “Oh my God, we have to keep going.”“
More from Grace and Todd Penn
Big news for fans of The West Wing: Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford, who play President Grace Penn and her husband Todd Penn, respectively, have been promoted to series regulars. The duo, who featured in Season 3 exploring how the White House affects their marriage, will therefore be featured even more.
“Working with Alison and Brad, watching them together again, and the quirky foursome they do with Carrie and Rufus… it’s a crazy bag of candyDeborah Kahn enthuses.Our expectations were high and they completely exceeded them.” Executive producer Janice Williams told Tudum that “Bradley was a great addition to an already dream cast“.
A final that heralds complications
The eight-episode third season follows Ambassador Kate Wyler as her life is turned upside down by a major event. The former president (Michael McKinney) died. Grace Penn became the president. And he has his eye on the Wylers, especially Hal, whom he appoints as vice president. When Kate takes on a role she never wanted, with a freedom she never expected, she finds herself faced with new expectations and new obstacles.
The season 3 finale suggests that the diplomat faced more complications than ever in season 4.Fans should be worried. There is cause for concern“, warns Kahn.It can be quite chilling to see who gets the power and get the feeling that they can use it terribly badly.“
The tension between Kate and Hal is still explosive
But Keri Russell promises that “Breaking up will be funRufus Sewell, who plays Hal Wyler, agrees:That Kate and Hal are at war, that they’re together, that they’re other people, it’s fun for us no matter what.“
