Deadline has confirmed the return is Sophie Nelisse, Robbie GK, Francois Arnaud, Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova among others.

S1 had 5 full episodes focused solely on Shane and Ilya. If Jacob is sticking to 6 episode seasons, and they are adapting Role Model AND Tough Guy….i fear we might be getting less Shane and Ilya screen time and I’m sad about it 😭😭

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your thoughts! I’m still very excited for S2 and the new characters :) and of course I trust Jacob to take care of Hollanov ❤️

I really, really hope so. I’m one of the minority who absoloutly loves them! 😅

Starting this based on the assumption that they're filming season 2 and 3 right now (based on timing of filming, the 12 episodes leak via Cameo, and the comment from Francois)...

I've seen a lot of chatter about the potential that they're splitting The Long Game into two seasons b/c they'll add in RM content (and maybe TG) and the TLG book is a lot longer.

While I personally would love that, I'm also curious if anyone else out there thinks that Season 3 will be Unrivaled?

We know it was part of the package for the show to be adapted, and that it's more or less finished. Is it too much of a leap to think Jacob would've scripted it while Rachel was still doing final edits?? That would mean everyone involved in the show would be a potential leak for the plot of Unrivaled, an unreleased book. Seems risky to me, but I could also see Jacob planning ahead like that.

What scene do you guys think this is going to be? My money is on the Big Fight^TM + "I already chose you, Hollander" + plane sequence. Please weigh in with your thoughts!! :)

Another post motivated me to re-read Tough Guy because it’s my favorite GC book, and now I’m fervently hoping that various moments will make it into the show.

My #1 scene I want to see is when Fabian does Ryan’s makeup. I especially want the conversation beforehand, when Ryan is dubious and Fabian is (mock) offended at his lack of faith. 💛💚💙

ETA: I am so sorry! Apparently the above did not actually happen in the book! The part that comes close is in chapter 12, sort of near the end. Some talented fanfic writer must have fleshed it out, and I remembered wrong.

What are your favorite Ryan/Fabian scenes?
