Kyle Patrick Alvarez knew he’d have to take a risk. The director, known for his cult film The Sanford Prison Experiment, as well as for directing episodes of 13 Reasons Why and Tales of the City signed on to direct all 10 episodes of the second season of Amazon’s Homecoming in the midst of a creative shake-up.
Season 1, though praised and popular, was designed as a stand-alone story. For Season 2, most of the show’s cast–including lead Julia Roberts–would depart the series.
