Reboot Showrunner Is Already Working On Season 2

Hulu's comedy "Reboot" just finished its first season, but the meta-comedy took a lot of effort to get to that first season. According to an interview with Collider, the show's creator, Steve Levitan, had the idea for the show while still working on "Modern Family" but had pretty much written off the idea because he assumed someone else would get to it before he had the availability to do a new show. However, while he put a lot of time and effort into creating the show, he put much less into creating the show-within-the-show. "It's funny, it was one of those little details where I didn't really care what that show was, I just needed it to be a viable show," Levitan told Collider. "I knew that what I wanted the modern-day cast to be, so I had to reverse engineer a show that made sense with that cast, having these two actors and a woman, all about the same age, and a grown-up kid. I reverse-engineered it from that."

In another interview with Variety, Levitan explained that, even before he knew where the show would find its home, he knew that he would make that outlet a part of the show rather than invent a fictional streaming service. So, while some things on the show were carefully planned out, some were less thought through and were even, at times, the result of happy accidents. But Levitan isn't resting just because the first season finished up at Hulu; he's already working on the next season.
