ScreenRant: How does the tone feel? Disney+ versus Netflix?
Krysten Ritter: Oh, it’s gritty. It feels big too. The crew’s amazing. I’ve had an amazing experience. I can’t say anything, but I love being with Charlie [Cox]. It was as if no time had passed. Like, my first day, I was looking around like we’re back. But juxtaposing it with Mia [her Dexter Resurrection character] and Jessica has been really creatively fulfilling for me as an artist and just what a big, big banner year I’m having. I think the fans are going to be very, very thrilled. We’re doing some cool stuff.
