Allen wrote and directed all six episodes. Price would like to have a second season, but it will depend entirely on Allen’s availability and interest. “That’s something we have to figure out with Woody,” Price said. “We’ll see how he feels and [what he] wants to do. He’s busy because he does a movie a year, so it’s hard. Normally he shoots a movie in the summer. Then he got this in right before it. I don’t know that he’ll always be able to do this schedule that way, because he also has to write too. I would do it.”

As someone who still watches Van Damme’s movies that premiere on VOD or DVD/Blu-ray, I know he can still kick. In fact, some of his recent movies are even more outrageous than the theatrical releases he made at the height of his fame (Pound of Flesh and Universal Soldier: Regeneration certainly). During his executive panel, Roy Price assured JCVD fans the series would include lots of action in each half hour.
“I expect that would happen,” Price said. “He’s a spy and he’s going on missions. We haven’t set a rule but I would imagine so.”
Van Damme will play a famous actor who is also a secret agent. “We just thought that premise was hilarious and hopefully you will too when you see it,” Price said.
“The Cosmopolitans is an interesting case,” Price said. “Whit is working on scripts so that could happen. It’s exciting. I think it’s a great cast. Having Whit and Chloë [Sevigny] back together in Paris could be magic. So I still have high hopes about The Cosmopolitans. In the meantime, Whit worked on Love and Friendship, the movie we distributed in the U.S. He’s in Paris and he’s working on [the show]. Ball’s in Whit’s court on that one.”
