“There are always unforeseen events for one reason or another. Previously, in season 3, for example, after having 10/12 chapters written we had to return to kill the protagonist’s brother and that contrary to being a problem and causing chaos, always one that understands it as a challenge, you you pose it and end up solving it ”
During the interview for the YouTube channel Writer Wannabe, Zelkowicz said that working for the production of the series The Lord of the Skies has not been an easy process.
“It is easy to say, but it has been a 7-year process that has resulted in characters with depth, who continue to stay there. We have had to kill some of them. This is a story with many bad and few good, a lot of death because it is a story that touches a great Latin American drama that is drug trafficking […]”
