We spoke w/ DarbyAndTheDead's Silas Howard about whether we'll see a sequel.

The supernatural teen comedy Darby and the Dead follows high schooler Darby Harper , as she juggles the ability to see dead people with trying to live her own life. Helping lonely spirits clear up their unfinished business can be challenging to juggle with homework or explain to friends, so Darby has become an introvert who’s unconcerned with popularity.

SILAS HOWARD: Yeah, I feel very lucky. It’s such a joy to get to jump into different genres. For me, no matter what the style is, I’m always looking at similar themes, which is usually something about a friendship and something about a transformative power of something like loss. I love comedy in my drama, and drama in my comedy. I really like to have them mixed together.

The development was about a year and a half, at least, of working on it. I hired the writers with Footprint Films and worked with them. They paid for them, but we both hired them. And then, we took it out to Hulu and a couple other places, and we got some strong interest. Hulu was definitely the one to go with. They connected so personally to it, as well as just had a love for it. I couldn’t have asked for better collaborators than Steve and Sarah with Hulu and 20th Century.

You’ve been open about being trans, and you have a trans actress in this ensemble, with the fantastically talented Nicole Maines. Is that something that you wanted to make sure you brought to a film set in high school, in particular, and do so in a way where it doesn’t make a big deal of it? I would definitely be up for a sequel, especially after what we learn about Alex, by the end of the film. Have you thought about that at all? Is that something you’d want to not only see, but is that something you’d want to do?
