Responding to a query on Letterboxd's Instagram, Williams provided a curated list for Shane. The top spot goes to the rom-com classic When Harry Met Sally. It's a fitting choice for a character defined by a complex, hidden relationship. Other favorites include Pixar's Wall-E, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, and the 1956 western The Searchers. Williams also teased an honorable mention for Moonlight, though he kept the reasoning "a secret."

Season 2 Production and The Long Game

The series has been a massive success, becoming the most-watched original on Crave and the top acquired debut on HBO Max since 2019. Following its renewal earlier this month, creator Jacob Tierney is looking to fast-track the next installment. While writing hasn't officially begun, Tierney aims for a release window sooner than the typical 18 months.

The upcoming season is expected to adapt Rachel Reid's 'The Long Game', exploring the dynamic of a committed relationship facing new obstacles. Lead actor Connor Storrie expressed excitement about watching the characters face personal limits in the "real leagues."
