THR spoke with Anthony Mackie and showrunner Alison Schapker about the AlteredCarbon finale ('It was an homage to the end of season one) and what may lie ahead for the Netflix series ('we're ready to go!')
, dead does not always mean dead, thanks to technology that allows humans to carry their consciousness from one body to the next. But sometimes, dead isdead, and that appeared to be the case with Takeshi Kovacs by the end of season two — until the very last moment, that is.
"At some point, you have to be willing to sacrifice everything, and the ultimate sacrifice is the one he gives for Quell," adds Anthony Mackie. "The entire season was leading to that moment. What he's been going through and experiencing leads to this moment where he asks the question: who is more important? Who is more valuable?"
"Kovacs Prime, who has not killed his sister, still has an understanding of what this other version of himself has gone through," says Schapker. "He was impacted by Quellcrist Falconer, and that addresses some of the big questions about are we destined to be impacted by certain people? We leave him embedded in the Protectorate. What will come of that?"
"It was an homage to the end of season one, in a way," says Schapker. "At the end of season one, when you see those boots walk out of the Raven, I was thinking, 'Okay, who's going to be Kovacs next time? I want to see the next season!' It had me leaning into the TV. It's a hopeful note to go out on. It's a note of anticipation. I love that feeling. I wanted to find a way to end season two with that same feeling of, well, he's not gone.
