As I’ve mentioned previously, Wormwood: A Serialized Mystery is a huge project for me, and it’s coming to a big conclusion—like, LOST-series-finale huge. We began our story with a basic occult mystery that had a much larger mystery buried within it. Over the course of the second and third seasons, I’ve—along with my writing staff—expanded the mythos and dug deeply into the larger framework behind the series. Now it’s time to bring it all to a close with Wormwood: Revelation, the final eight episodes of the series.
These final episodes make up a single, larger story that involves the entire cast racing toward an apocalyptic conflict. These eight chapters were incredibly difficult to write. The working process behind Wormwood usually involves a virtual writers’ meeting over Skype where we break down eight episodes, discuss major beats and connective tissue and dole out writing assignments. We have one writers’ meeting for eight episodes. Revelation required three writers’ meetings and many subsequent email conversations.
But all of that work led to a set of episodes of which I am exceedingly proud. I think we really nailed the ending, and I’m very excited to share these episodes with the audience.
The first episode is now online. Wormwood is a show that’s best served by listening from the start, but I wanted to share Revelation: Chapter One with you anyway.
