\u201cI think the stakes are raised for everybody,\u201d she said. \u201cWe all go through really intense moments and the anxiety is up and everything\u2019s heightened. It\u2019s definitely heightened a lot more for every character.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alexa Demie, who plays Maddy, echoed that: \u201cThis season is even more intense in the decisions that each character is making and how they affect the other characters. The decision that one character makes will greatly affect another character and it just raises the stakes for everyone. This season felt a lot more intense, especially with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
Apatow chimed back in: \u201cAnd consequences, right? Everyone\u2019s making decisions and you get to see the consequences of all their actions this season, I think a little bit more, and how they deal with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

That, unfortunately, is still to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd this season, more specifically, she goes to the rock bottom,\u201d she explained. \u201cWhen we get midway through, that\u2019s when the rock bottom hits, and that\u2019s where it became extremely painful for all of us to watch. And to portray her going through it hurt me.\u201d<\/p>
But Zendaya did promise that there are better days ahead for the protagonist.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember having a conversation midway through [season two] like, [Rue] can\u2019t stay here,\u201d she added. \u201cWe can\u2019t leave her [in this dark place]. And I always felt that Rue would be okay because Rue is a version of Sam [Levinson] and Sam is who he is, and was able to take all that pain [in his own life from when he was a drug addict] and turn it into this beautiful television show many years later.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to see that and I think we all wanted to see that, a sense of hope, because it goes to such an extreme low for her. It\u2019s a long journey, but we get there. I promise. Just keep loving her and keep supporting her.\u201d<\/p>\n
