A renowned director of shows like Dahmer, 13 Reasons Why, and many more, talks about how does it feel to work in the television world.

‘Dahmer’ and ‘13 Reasons Why’ Director, Gregg Araki Reveals How It Is to Work for TV World

Although presenting the same artistic elements, the worlds of television and
films are totally different. One of the major things is that shooting a film
takes longer than shooting an episode of a TV show. Nevertheless, both of them
have their own distinguished qualities that make the audience feel something.
Gregg Araki, the Dahmer and 13 Reasons Why director, who has worked in both
fields, revealed his experience and differences.

The American filmmaker, who is famous for his heavy involvement with the New
Queer Cinema movement, has won the Cannes Film Festival, Queer Palm. During a
conversation with Thora Siemsen from Metrograph, Araki talked

about many things, including road movies, mortality, his personal life, and
more. While talking about the renowned director’s life, Siemsen asked him about
his experience in the TV world.

Araki has a unique vision for his work. Implementing that vision is simpler and
easier while making a film. However, it becomes a little hard to implement a new
vision in an already-established structure. Therefore, Gregg Araki said working
in the TV world felt like he was back in the film school. He added while an
artist tried to make the best episode they could, it would not be their work. He
would apply all his directional and filmmaking skills in creating an episode and
would produce a cool little mini TV.

Additionally, while sharing the process of creating a TV show, the 63-year-old
reckoned that it would take around 10 days to shoot an episode. And he also
revealed how satisfyingly rewarding it was to make his own show titled Now
Apocalypse. Now, with the renewal of Dahmer for the second season, will Gregg
Araki come back?


WILL GREGG ARAKI DIRECT THE NEXT SEASON OF DAHMER?

The first season of Dahmer got a lot of mixed reviews. However, it was a
tremendous success commercially. The series also received critical comments
about having an LGBTQ+ tag, which was later removed

Nevertheless, Netflix announced the renewal of the docuseries for two more
seasons.



In the first season, Araki directed episode #8 titled Lionel. Now, with the
renewal of the docuseries, fans are eagerly waiting for the disturbing thriller.
Though there is no official announcement about the involvement of Araki in the
second season, having his creatively unique vision applied in the series would
certainly enhance the effects.
