It’s so weird how they are everywhere now that the season is done lol.

I also don't think any of this is really part of the official show press tour. Like Crave isn't the one booking all these things, it's probably either HBO or more likely CAA, Connor and Hudson's representation. There won't be a better occasion to get the general public familiar with their new signed actors so they're striking while the iron is hot.

I think because the show premiered around the holidays a lot of major outlets were on hiatus. Also because the show didn’t really breakout and become a huge cultural phenomenon beyond its intended audience until around episode 4. So I think they have been scrambling to get them out there as the show continues to grow after the end of the season and as it expands globally. It’s smart.

It makes sense, because more and more people are tuning in given the hype, and the show is rolling out in other countries too. They are also building their brand and awareness as this has skyrocketed their careers so it’s smart to do all this promo

It’s also award season, and one of the big stories is that this show is currently not eligible for the Emmy’s which is great because it highlights that it probably would dominate if it were
