DollfaceĀ returns to Hulu Friday for its second season, which finds Jules, Madison, Izzy and Stella grappling with turning 30 in their own ways.Ā CreatorĀ Jordan WeissĀ and executive producerĀ Michelle NaderĀ told ABC Audio that women haveĀ more things to worry about besides their looksĀ when they hit that big birthday.
“We felt like the milestone of a 30th birthday can be seen from a few different perspectives,” said Weiss, noting howĀ Brenda Song‘s Madison feelsĀ there’s a deadline toĀ “have everything figured,” out whileĀ Kat Dennings‘ Jules acts like “it’s just another birthday.”
Nader adds thisĀ season’s theme is “growing up without growing apart” from your friendsĀ by showing how the characters react when they must “cross that bridge from their 20s to 30s.”
Song explainsĀ her character, Madison, is riddled with “anxiety” andĀ views her 30th birthdayĀ as “doomsday” because “so much of her life is not gone the way that she thought.” The actressĀ revealed,Ā “It was the exact opposite [for me]… Your 20s was all about making mistakes and, when I turned 30, I… felt comfortable in my own skin.”Ā She hopes Madison will also “get to that place” and “enjoy life.”
DenningsĀ teased that, while JulesĀ appears she “doesn’t care one way or the other” about herĀ 30th birthday, “Maybe she secretly does.”Ā Dennings admitsĀ she, personally, was “excited to turn 30” because her 20s “were kind of a train wreck.”
Shay Mitchell, who plays Stella, addsĀ DollfaceĀ is a cathartic show.Ā “It’s like a big hug,” she described. “It’s light.Ā It’s fun and it’s super relatable.”
There is a message Weiss hopes the audience takes awayĀ in season two, which she says is “Dare to care.”Ā
DollfaceĀ returns this Friday on Hulu.
