@stevendeknight Never in my life have I hoped and waited for any show like this....please pull through Steven! 🙏😢

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@RealLucyLawless I'm from Turkey, watched Xena in 2014 and realized I was a lesbian 🥹 don't know how long it would take otherwise

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@stevendeknight I need to see it! 😭

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

Hi Steven, is there anything at all that you can tell us about where Messia's story will go in the second season? Hopefully she has more screentime, she is such a good character!
@stevendeknight

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@stevendeknight I'm dyinggg to know where Messia's story will go...she became one of my favs despite so little screentime, her character has sooo much potential

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@stevendeknight Yet?

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@stevendeknight Is there a chance of any updates? 🥺 Checking your tweets everyday for the hope of a second season...

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@stevendeknight if (when!) house of Ashur gets resurrected, do you have plans to develop Cornelia and Messia's relationship in season 2? I feel like it could really show layers to both Cornelia and Messia, which we didn't have too much time for this season

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@stevendeknight Can you at least tell us if we have reasons to be optimistic? 🌝🌝 Pleaseee Mr. DeKnightt

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@stevendeknight Cornelia stans unite!!

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@stevendeknight I don't know what would be worse, not knowing what was gonna happen or read the script and go crazy because I cannot see it in the screen 😢 but anyway manifesting that we will get season 2! 💪

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@stevendeknight Hopefully we get more into it in season 2? :)))

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@stevendeknight So a potential next season would take a bit over a year? My greatest fear is that we will have wait 2+ years 🥺 (though I know this might be hard for you to say now, please take it as a sign of my love for your show!)

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@ivanabaquero_ @spartacus_starz @STARZ @mgmplus @LionsgateTV You were amazing! I hope to see much more of Messia in season 2 <3

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@stevendeknight @STARZ @LionsgateTV Mr. DeKnight we need the second season so bad 😔😔 how am I to sit with this incredible finale for 1+ year??

[Sıla Kartal @silakartal98]

@IlkanIpekci you dont have to go back anywhere if you watch it everyday 💅🌟

@scottlong1980 @TheFunFury the queer community in Istanbul has always shown a great balance—show our anger to others, make pride a riot; then go to our afterparties and dance until we drop from exhaustion. our enemies hate seeing us laughing
