I’ve not been capable of write this letter — each time I attempt my palms get sweaty, my coronary heart does a cumbia beat and I get nauseous. It’s taken me days. As a result of irrespective of the way you slice it, it is a farewell letter. So I’ll get that half out of the best way: Season Three will likely be ‘Vida’s’ ultimate season. Fairly than dwell on the ‘hows’ and the ‘whys,’ what I’m burning to get to is the ‘thank-you’ half. That’s the half that’s making my chest ache.Once I started this journey three and a half years in the past, I by no means dreamed that by the tip of the method I’d be so wholly modified — thoughts, physique and spirit — and that I’d be standing so strongly in my talents to run and create a TV present the best way it ought to have all the time been created: By us. Once I began this, the panorama was a bleak one for Latinx illustration. Within the tv panorama, the narratives about us have been few and much between and have been caught on stereotypical. And I had solely heard of 1 Latina showrunner who’d been allowed to run a present solo. Additionally for brown queers, there was actually no illustration.That is the place the thank-yous start: Since you championed our delicate and darling little collection, we have been gifted three fantastically compelling, trailblazing seasons of tv. Sincerely, because of this I needed to personally write this letter, to precise that your assist has meant every little thing. It has meant two renewals and validation that our brown narrative is price telling. I’ll by no means have the ability to thanks sufficient on your reception and endorsement. Actually.This goodbye is simply too bittersweet for phrases. I’d be mendacity if I stated I’m not unhappy about not getting again into that magical writers room to maintain crafting our story. However in any case, I obtained to inform the precise story I needed to inform, precisely how I needed to inform it, and that’s uncommon on this business. I depart steeped in gratitude. Grateful to Starz for not simply permitting ‘Vida’ to occur, however for being nice co-parents as we raised her collectively. And grateful for the collaborators whose careers we have been capable of launch: Latinx cinematographers, writers, actors — virtually completely feminine — who at the moment are on the market and in demand. What a fantastic household we constructed. And what a fantastic present.Mil gracias. I do hope you’re capable of give this, our final season, ship off, as a result of let me let you know, it’s a highly effective one. It’s simply as compelling as ever with some imagery and themes I’ve by no means seen on tv earlier than. I’m profoundly pleased with it.
