So I'm with your dad there are sometimes where I think it's the right thing to do and sometimes where I think it's not, but Shameless felt like one of the shows that really required it. Shameless lives on being topical, and to not deal with it and to not deal with the impact of it on this community would be wrong. Animal Kingdom we're not dealing with it at all or in the pilot we're doing for HBO Max. I have four shows that are in production right now, Shameless being one of them, and Shameless is the only show that we actually felt it was important and in the best interest of what the audience would want to deal with the pandemic. Was there ever any debate over whether to incorporate everything going on in 2020, or did it feel like a no-brainer? I totally get that and agree that not every show should do this, but Shameless is one that I was very interested in seeing how you handled it, just because of your history with social commentary.
SHAMELESS SEASONS TV
For example, I just was talking to my dad about this, and he's someone on the side of saying he turns to TV for entertainment and to escape what's going on in the world. There has been a big debate over whether shows should be incorporating things like the pandemic into story lines.

We eventually had to start shooting, so we picked a moment in time and we continued to write to what is going on, as best we can knowing full well that we'll be several months out of sync by the time it airs.

So we rewrote everything from the beginning. Like everyone else, we assumed it was going to be a few weeks that we shutdown originally, and then it ended up being five months. We had written through about seven or eight episodes, so we continued in the writer's room on Zoom for several more months. I was supposed to direct the first one, and we were supposed to start that next Monday when everything shut down on that Thursday. JOHN WELLS: We were three days away from starting shooting.

In a lengthy post praising the cast and crew of the show, she said, "This kind of stability, this family, has nurtured me and made feel safe enough to stretch and grow creatively." Rossum, meanwhile, explained she was leaving the show to allow herself to work on other projects. He revealed to E! that they had originally intended to say where she was going, but the moment was cut for time: "It ended up being a mystery because we had to cut the time down, not because we planned to make it be a mystery." Speaking to Vulture, Shameless creator John Wells revealed that it was always his intention to have Fiona leave Chicago, explaining, "because otherwise, we'd spend way too much time explaining why she wasn't around. She does not reveal where she is going, save from saying she is heading, "somewhere nearer the equator - I'm sick of winters." In the end, she follows their advice and leaves the South Side.
