Read Zabel’s full comments here:
Eventually, it’s in Spain, but there’s an interesting stop between France and Spain that’s pretty cool and exciting. Stephen Merchant is in the first episode and plays a very interesting character that we meet at the beginning. Then, in Spain, we have a totally different vibe than in France, which is really cool. We go into a little bit of a Western vibe, a little bit of a spaghetti Western vibe, and the colors are different. It’s sandy, dusty and windy, and we’re in this very complicated city. We have an incredible cast of Spanish actors. Really great cast.
