In her post that acknowledged the resuming of the show, Drew Barrymore explained her intentions for restarting the show“I want to be there to provide what writers do so well, which is a way to bring us together or help us make sense of the human experience,” she wrote. She emphasized the same in her latest video message. “I wanted to do this because as I said, this is bigger than me. And there are other people’s jobs on the line,” she said in the apology.

The show had initially started during the pandemic. The global crisis didn’t hinder the show. The actress wants her show to be there for people in times of need. “So, I want to just put one foot in front of the other and make a show that’s there for people regardless of anything else that’s happening in the world because that’s when I think we all need something that wants to be there, being very realistic in very realistic times. So that is my why,” she said concluding her apology.
