“We don’t mess around,” Tia Napolitano tells Parade,
and reveals what she’s most excited about from the opener.
Fire Country Season 2 left off with Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila)
standing at the aisle with Diego (Rafael de la Fuente), not revealing whether she said “I do” or “I can’t.” Because even though she cares about Diego, she and Bode (Max Thieriot) are still in love with each other, and although they can’t say it, they can’t hide their feelings. The Season 3 premiere promises to answer the question of whether or not she marries Diego. It’s called “What the Bride Said,” after all. Fire Country showrunner Tia Napolitano knows fans have been waiting all summer for the resolution to the cliffhanger, and she’s not going to drag it out.
“In the finale last year, we wanted to have people like, ‘Oh my gosh, what happens next? I can’t wait.’ And we finally get to just deliver it,” she tells Parade. “We don’t mess around, we don’t play with time. We’re just giving straight information and really exciting stuff, a lot of red meat, bam, bam, bam, one after another.”
Sometimes Fire Country teases the audience, but that’s not the case in the premiere, she says. Fans are going to get to see a lot of big developments right away. “I’m pumped for them to absorb all the new information and all of the surprises,” she says
