So curious about that!
Even if they really want to just focus on The Long Game, I think everyone appears in that. Maybe not Eric and Kyle. But Kyle has been on screen already. So opportunities for flashbacks at the very least?
I don't know whether I hope someone throws more of a budget at season 2 or not, working with limited resources (I assume) so far has gotten such good results...
One of the things I think is funny in the books and I think could be very amusing on the show is the way Carter/Georgia is entirely unseen just mentioned occasionally and Maria/that Finnish player are just a little in the background. Like, token straights with their offscreen romances. But not taking up valuable time from anyone actually important.
