"And we see the father-song story evolve over the season," added creator and showrunner Alfred Gough.
Burton promised that Ordonez really delivered as Pugsley in Season 2, whom he described as "an outcast among outcasts" this year. He had high praise for the 16-year-old actor, adding, "Isaac did a really beautiful job of capturing the pathos of Pugsley."
Ordonez warned, "[Pugsley] wants to fit in, and he really wants a friend. It's not looking very good."
Netflix is delivering the show in two parts with Part I dropping Aug. 6 and Part II coming Sept. 3. It's a marketing strategy that has worked well for the streamer when it comes to their bigger hits, including Outer Banks, Bridgerton, Cobra Kai, and Emily in Paris.
