When asked for comment on his feelings for Ryan, Sam said, ‘Tell them I couldn’t be reached for comment.’ When a minor mishap causes Sam to become Ryan’s primary caregiver, sh*t gets weird. Ryan is delighted to spend all of his time with Sam. Sam couldn’t be reached for comment.”
Futha Muckacomes fromBlockers writers Jim and Brian Kehoe. The two will also serve as the showrunners for the project in addition to executive producing alongside Jackson and Reynolds.
