Continued from page 2 Ted, Spencer’s love interest. But once season one was over, the studio, and fans, wanted more. A Kickstarter campaign — an online fundraising tool — was launched, raising just over $32,000 in donations to put toward season two. “ ‘WRECKED’ is for people who are like the people in the show,” Pope said. “It is for young adults, probably between 20 and 40, living in an environment similar to us — artists in Seattle, working at bars, people working minimum wage jobs in a metropolitan area.”

Season two

The first episode of

the second season aired in May. Six episodes are scheduled to be released each Monday on the show’s website. Season two begins by providing fans with a larger peek into Spencer’s backstory, before she moved to Seattle. But while the story begins with Spencer, the show’s second season expands on the characters around her. “In season one, we were introduced to the characters. In season two, we are introduced to the people,” said Keiko Green, the actress who plays Amina, the foul-tempered girlfriend of Spencer’s brother Peter. “Now that we’ve established who these people are, we got the opportunity to explore their complex relationships,” Green added.

Buechler added, “The drama in season two of ‘WRECKED’ is much more driven by the interpersonal relationships between the characters than outside events, which is something that I feel makes it a stronger installment.” Buechler edited much of season one, but he stepped into the role of director for season two. “Getting the opportu-

laugh. “It’s funny and sad,” Pope said. “It has its serious moments and its sexy moments. The ultimate goal of the show is to make something entertaining but emotionally expanding for the people watching.” Season two of “WRECKED,” as well as the entire first season, is available online at www.
