'Danny Boy' Sequel & More In Store for Season 2 of UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT

At an Emmy event held Monday at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre Jack Burditt, executive producer of UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT spoke to The Hollywood Reporter this week about what's ahead in the second season of the hit Netflix series.

On the possibility of a sequel to 'Danny Boy':

We're a bunch of weirdos in the writer's room so we're always trying to find the stuff that's going to amuse anyways. That said, I think we all want to see more Danny's Boy whether it's Kimmy and Titus seeing more of the movie or something like that. We do want to see more of that. But yeah there's always going to be weird bits and gags that we're not aiming for that will just be born in that writer's room.

On what we will learn about the characters in Season Two:

I feel like we really haven't touched on Titus that much. We're going to get more into his past and his wife showed up at the end of season one and we don't really still know a lot about him so we're looking forward to finding out more about him. Lillian, we really want to get into what her whole background is. If we had done 22 like you do in network TV, we certainly would have done more with her. Everybody is so in love with Carol Kane and we just kind of ran out of time to get to it.

On what will be revealed about Kimmy's past:

The show is supposed to be moving on and everything like that so what Kimmy went through is still going to inform her character at times but I think it's going to be moving away from that as much as possible. We're still going to have the mole women and we're going to see more of them, we're going to see more of Gretchen, we'll see Cindy dealing with - she had a moment of fame, then what now? So yeah, there are remnants of that. We'll still be dealing with it but there' also a sense of lets see what else can happen in Kimmy's life that is interesting and fun without everything being about, "I was in a bunker for 15 years."

On what guest stars we can expect to see in the new season:

I don't know if I can name names but yes, people have approached us and said they would love to do something on the show. ... Its funny because last season it was this weird show that nobody knew what we were doing. We were in such a vacuum because we filmed everything before we [aired] so we had no feedback on anything. Everybody thought, what's that show? I'm sure a lot more people are going to becoming forward and saying I want to do a spot on that show.
