“#How ‘A Million Little Things’ will play out this season<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cA Million Little Things\u201d returns this Thursday (March 11 at 10 p.m.) for a 14-episode run \u2014 after only four episodes aired last fall due to primetime\u2019s juggling act triggered by the pandemic shutdown.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s episode finds the show\u2019s major characters dealing with COVID in different ways: Eddie\u2019s (David Giuntoli) opioid dependency; Maggie\u2019s (Allison Miller) romance with British roommate Jamie (Chris Geere); Rome\u2019s (Romany Malco) new movie and his wife, Regina\u2019s (Christina Moses), restaurant; and Gary\u2019s (James Roday Rodriguez) relationship with Darcy (Floriana Lima).<\/p>\n

\u201cA Million Little Things\u201d creator\/executive producer DJ Nash spoke to The Post about what to expect for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

How does COVID effect this season\u2019s arc?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our show lives in authenticity. The fact that 16 people in the writers\u2019 room were never in the same room, the fact that we have loved ones who died and we couldn\u2019t make it to their funerals\u2026that we had big birthdays celebrated over Zoom\u2026there were so many things that we, as writers, experienced and so many ways our lives were different because of COVID. When you look at the show\u2019s characters, if you\u2019re in remission for cancer [Maggie] it puts you in a high-risk group and means being even more careful about quarantining; if you\u2019re looking at chemical dependency [Eddie]\u2026it seems like every issue of our show was intensified by COVID, so not to embrace it and look at it through that lens would be a huge missed opportunity. So many of our stories \u2014 Regina being a survivor of child sexual assault, Rome\u2019s depression\u2026make our audience feel \u201cseen,\u201d and I hope the COVID storylines do that, too.<\/p>\n

What about Delilah (Stephanie Szostak)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Delilah and her predicament is an active part of this season. I don\u2019t want to give away her story, but it\u2019s something we\u2019re tracking. She\u2019s torn between being there for a parent who\u2019s elderly and needy and being there for her children. I loved the idea of putting Delilah in this predicament\u2026where she feels like she\u2019s coming up short on both sides.<\/p>\n

\"Gary
Gary (James Roday Rodriguez) and Darcy (Floriana Lima) are dealing with relationship issues when \u201cA Million Little Things\u201d returns March 11 with new episodes.<\/figcaption>

Will the impact of Jon\u2019s (Ron Livingston) suicide be felt less?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s going to change and be really true to what happ<\/a>ens after a loved one has died. I think of my own friend who I lost [to suicide] and who was the inspiration for the show, of how I miss him and the relevance his passing plays into my life changes. Similarly, there are events that take place for [Jon\u2019s children] Danny (Chance Hurstfield) and Sophie (Lizzy Greene), huge events where they\u2019re aware that not only did their dad play a role in \u201chelping me through this,\u201d but \u201cwhat would Dad think about what I did?\u201d That\u2019s ever-present, but they\u2019ve all gotten to the point where they\u2019re not forgetting and picking up the phone to call Jon. They know he\u2019s gone. But they\u2019re at that next stage, when reaching a milestone or when they least expect it [that] they\u2019re reminded of him. It either inspires you or gut-punches you.<\/p>\n

Do you consider Gary to be the show\u2019s comic relief?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gary sometimes goes to jokes for different reasons. He\u2019s afraid of his emotions and so it\u2019s a shield; he does it to help other people let their guard down; and then he does it just because he can\u2019t help himself. We all have that friend who might push the limits of what you can say or do, but because they\u2019re so well-intentioned and look out for us in every other way\u2026it\u2019s like, \u201cOh, OK, this is Gary.\u201d I think James [Roday Rodriguez] and I see that in the same way. In our very first meeting, I was telling him that the story came from a real place, from a friend who died from suicide and that, in fact, we were supposed to have lunch the next week. James said, without missing a beat, \u201cHe really didn\u2019t want to have lunch with you, did he?\u201d I\u2019d just met this guy and it was so raw. I said to myself, \u201cThat\u2019s Gary \u2014 he\u2019s never being mean but he\u2019s not trying to be nice: he\u2019s just trying to be honest.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
