thirty arrived in the early evening on 2023 TV premiere schedule debut Ramón Rodríguez as an investigator for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, whose talents set him apart even when his social skills are less than polished. The new show is based on the thirty Novel series written by Karin Slaughter. In a sneak peek of the new Jan. 31 episode (seen above), Will shows how close he already is to Betty the Chihuahua. He reads on for the author’s “super honest” thoughts on the book’s on-screen passages, as well as the castings for the characters… including Betty!
Karin Slaughter is a New York Times bestseller of over twenty novels, including ten in the thirty series. The written works of him mean that the ABC series had many sources to bring the characters to the screen and build the world of him in Atlanta. When he spoke to Gossipify about his books and the series, he got involved in the cast. While he didn’t participate in the casting of the stars, there is one scene-stealer that stands out for her:
I wish they’d let me pick Betty, just because I’d love to be around so many dogs. They just know what they are doing. [with casting]. I think they did a great job and I’m very happy with it. But no, I wasn’t involved in that… I’m really sorry for Ramón, because it’s like I can’t take my eyes off him. I mean, yeah, he’s a hot guy and all, but you know… Betty.
Although Betty may not be the most important of the cast of thirty, the first look at the Jan. 31 episode, titled “The Look Out,” suggests Ramón Rodríguez’s character would likely agree with the puppy’s importance to the series. The good news for Betty’s disappearance is that if anyone could be trusted to go out of their way to find her dog, she’d be besting her at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, with the help of Angie (Erika Christensen).
Of course, the cast of characters (other than Betty) made for some changes from what Karin Slaughter had written for them on the page. Readers will know that Ramón Rodríguez doesn’t exactly match the description of the blond Will Trent from the books, and the success of the series hinges on how the main character and those around him are portrayed. When asked what she thinks of the actors chosen to bring her characters to life on television, the author shared:
I’ll be super honest. I was a little nervous, because I had pictured them in my head and was afraid my readers would have problems. But for the most part they are as happy as I am. I always remember that my Dutch readers think Will will bike to work and my Brazilian readers think he speaks Portuguese. So everyone has a different idea of what it’s like. At the end of the day, you have to cast a real person, and I’d rather have someone who understands the character, really understands where he’s coming from, and knows the kind of man he is, than someone who doesn’t understand all of those things. the things. , but could have a more Scandinavian feel, if that makes sense.
If the author vouches for actors playing characters who don’t fit the physical descriptions in the book, then readers and viewers can rest assured that the show does those characters justice! As Slaughter pointed out, fans everywhere have their own images of what they read, and actors’ performances and understanding are more important than hair color. She then named some highlights of the first season so far:
especially iantha [Richardson] how amazing Faith is. It just brings a different level to the role. And of course Sonya [Sohn] whereas Amanda just hits very succinctly those lines, those nice lines from Amanda that bite a little bit for Will and Faith. I think it all comes together beautifully.
Page-to-screen changes in any adaptation are inevitable, and they actually happened Netflix presentation by Karin Slaughter pieces of her who deviated from the original material in some particular way. So, the author was right about her thirty books that you wanted to integrate as precisely as possible into the TV show? The author opened by saying:
Well, a couple of things, because I live in Atlanta. Atlanta is a very multicultural city. We’re a majority minority city, and have been since the early 70’s. I wanted to make sure it was captured by not only the people talking on the screen, but also the people around them, to have that reflection of a multicultural city, and I’m went to some really cool neighborhoods in Atlanta and the metro area. This was really the main thing I wanted to make sure. You know, you can’t put that in Vancouver and make the extras look like they’re Canadians trying to do Southern accents. Southerners really do sound Southern on this stage… It’s great to know that this is a show about Atlanta taking place in Atlanta.
Not all shows may be filmed in the same areas in which they take place; the author’s Vancouver example actually doubles in many different places on many different projects, including various shows on The CW. thirty is an exception, as it is set in Atlanta and can be filmed in Atlanta. Viewers have already seen authenticity in ways ranging from various actors’ accents to the weather. Karin Slaughter went on to praise the series’ authenticity in bringing the books to the screen:
I love when they do these little cutouts showing different parts of the city. I read before [and] some of the scripts will be in different areas that you don’t really hear about and really cover the history of the city. There is a lot of blood on the ground that is reminiscent of some of the tragedies that happened here, but also some of the tremendous progress that happened in Atlanta. So I think they do a really good job of making sure that if they go to a place and talk about that place, they show it for what it is, for better or for worse.
thirty has already touched on some of the tragedies in Atlanta and beyond in Georgia, including the episode that takes place on Lake Lanier. Fans will have to wait and see where the series explores in Georgia, but Slaughter’s comments after reading below suggest there’s a lot to look forward to.
