SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for the radio silence over the past couple months. Work and various other projects have kept me rather busy, but I have not forgotten about all of you, nor have I slowed down on the progress of crafting season three's storylines.
If you had told me when I started putting this show together back in March of 2013 that one year later I'd have two seasons published already AND be gearing up to start writing season three, I would've probably laughed and said, yeah, right. This whole experience has been nothing but pure fun for me and I'm incredibly humbled and touched by the truly positive feedback I've received over the last year. Thank you to everyone who has been reading the series and offering their support. I'm hoping to have a VERY BIG announcement on the future of dru-maddoX.com in the coming weeks to share with all of you.
In the meantime however, I thought it might be fun to give all of you a small glimpse into what you can expect from season three! This season will definitely have some darker undertones to it compared to previous seasons, but those undertones are result of what I'm hoping will be some truly powerful / meaningful stories that have been building over the past two seasons.
Here are just a few of the exciting things you can expect in season three:
- Reese is going to have a rough go of things. He does not handle the break-up with Dru well and makes some reckless choices as result. We're going to see him go through a lot of ups and downs the entire season, as well as have the show's first ever completely separate storyline from all of our other characters. We're going to really see Reese struggle this season with his identity. He's getting a lot more attention after winning big at the Golden Cock Awards and how he handles himself and all that attention may send him down the wrong path. We're also going to see him rebound from Dru very quickly with an unlikely partner.
- Dru, on the other hand, knowing that the break-up with Reese is entirely his fault, will have to deal with those emotions while having to deal with the sneaky take-over of his company by Trenton Marlow. Prepare yourselves for an all out battle over dru-maddoX.com. This is truly going to be something epic and most certainly dirty. There will be a quick plan put into place by Dru/Austin to regain control of the site, but not in a way you might expect.
- Kyle is going to push forward as a director for the site. "The Boyfriend Series," which was referenced in the second season finale, will become his baby. This will offer fans of the site a glimpse into the personal lives of the star's real life relationships as well as create a new style of filmed scene. Kyle's biggest obstacles however will be getting Austin to do a scene with him for this series, as Austin doesn't really want fans to see the real him, as well as Kyle having to accept the fact that Dru/Reese are no longer a couple and no matter how hard he tries, he's not going to be able to change that. What Kyle won't be prepared for is Reese's willingness to do this series with his new bf.
- Austin is going to spend most of the season doing what he does best: repair relationships and clear hurdles out of his way. He'll be keeping an eye on Reese, not really liking the new crowd he's hanging out with. He's also going to go toe-to-toe with Marlow, since he knows him better than anyone else does. Austin will ultimately play a key role in throwing a monkey wrench into Marlow's master plan. The biggest question of the season will be why is Marlow doing all of this. Why did he hire Nicholas Rion to secure the majority ownership of dru-maddoX.com. The answer may not be what you're expecting and what you certainly won't be expecting is how long he's had this plan in the works. Austin also has what could be considered one of the biggest scenes of his career ahead of him as he and Khayman Scott film their big scene as result of Marlow losing his bet with Dru at the Golden Cock Awards.
- April and May are going to have their hands full this season. Since May's firm represents both companies involved in this conflict, expect to see some strain put on April and May's relationship. We're also going to see April cross some lines that we would never expect her to cross. This will be big enough that it could not only cost April her job/relationship, it could also lead to her getting dis-barred. We're also going to see the biggest strain yet on her relationship with Dru. Hell hath no fury like a lesbian scorned when April finds out Dru signed the deal with Nicholas Rion without having her review it first.
- Courtney is just going to be Courtney this season. She and Jeremy will continue on hosting The DL and sharing insider information on what's happening with the site. We're also going to see her work her feminine magic on Nicholas Rion, trying to fish information out of him that could be helpful in regaining control of the site and finding out what he knows about Marlow's master plan.
Returning Characters that you can expect to see in season three are:
May Flowers
Jeremy Lockwood
Khayman Scott
Nicholas Rion
Trenton Marlow
Jesse Hillinger
Season Three will be comprised of seven episodes, just like season two. It was originally going to be six, but when I was mapping everything out, seven just felt like the right amount to tell all the stories that will need to be told. I can tell you right now, with 100% confidence, episode 18 (the fifth episode of the season three), will be the single, most powerful, episode of the series to date. Something very, VERY, big is going to happen that changes the landscape of the show and drastically changes the course of one of our main characters. Episode 18 will be the first episode that I won't be revealing anything about the episode. No mini-synopsis, not even the title, as that would give away what's planned. I truly want this episode to be a surprise :-)
I think that's safely all I can reveal about season three currently, without ruining any surprises. There will be a lot of twists and turns ahead. I can't wait!
Now's a fantastic time to catch up on seasons one and two if you aren't caught up already! Tell all of your friends to check the series out as well. Let's all spread the word about dru-maddoX.com as far and wide as we can!
Look for announcements regarding the cover art and release date over the next month.
Until next time! :-D
