“The comedy is something we’re all proud of,” Shyamalan told the reporters. “All four of these actors are so strong with physical [comedy]. I can come up with comedy that leans into that physicality. Like for Episode 7, I pitched a
Weekend at Bernie’s episode involving comatose Uncle George. It’s right on the line with broad comedy.”
As a writer and director, Shyamalan added that he’s found a lot of comfort in writing more dark comedy into his scripts. “From
The Visit on, it’s just my sweet spot to explore being scared, uncomfortable, and laughing at the same time.”
M. Night Shyamalan is hosting a Reddit AMA.
The AMA kicks off on Thursday, February 11 at 9:00 AM PT/12:00 PM ET.
M. Night Shyamalan was back behind the camera for episode four in the second season of Servant , the thriller/drama on Apple TV+. The director had actually handed off directorial duties to others for some episodes this season including his daughter, who actually wrote and directed two episodes.

She gave up being a classically trained pianist to become a singer/songwriter. Ishani Shyamalan is a senior in college and already has a promising directing career.

Servant have shared with
Digital Spy some intriguing thoughts on who the ultimate evil of the show truly is.
While the first season juxtaposed the potentially sinister motivations of nanny Leanne (Nell Tiger Free) with the grieving family she was working for, the latest episodes have unravelled a deeper mystery.
The reborn doll, Jericho, that grieving mum Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose) believed was her actual daughter might actually have been an avatar for the fact that her daughter is still alive – but kidnapped by Leanne s mysterious Aunt May. Or is someone else entirely behind Jericho s disappearance, as Leanne suggests?
