“I think what I would be interested in doing, if Nicholas [Alexander Chavez] and Cooper [Koch] would agree to do it, is maybe one or two episodes that continue the story,” Ryan told Variety.
Ryan also opened up about Kim Kardashian‘s involvement in the real-life case. She just wrote an essay calling for the real subjects to be released from prison.
“She knew a lot about the case, and she grew up with it,” Ryan said. “But she didn’t know about a lot of the sexual abuse and she immediately became very interested in helping them. So many people are now interested in the case and it speaks to me about the power of television and what it can do. It can shine a spotlight on something and it can illuminate dark corners.”
Ryan himself doesn’t want to be involved.
“I believe in justice, but I don’t believe in being a part of that machine,” Ryan said last week. “That’s not my job. My job as an artist was to tell a perspective in a particular story. I feel I’ve done that, but I wish them well.”
Cooper has revealed what happened when he visited the brothers in prison last month.
