In an interview with Vanity Fair, Collins said that Netflix is holding off on releasing any further information about the show until after the debut.
Darren Star stated to E! News as well, that "Season two hasn't started yet, but based on the first season, Emily is going to have to make some difficult decisions. So much of the episode revolves on the culture, upsetting her notions of how things should be and appear. And, of course, nothing will be exactly as it appears to be.
It's constantly about making her question her assumptions about the rest of the world because of her upbringing in the United States. There are a number of road junctions and destinations to visit."
