Will There Be a quarterlife Season 2?

Quarterlife creator Marshall Herskovitz and I haven’t always seen eye-to-eye, so when I introduced myself to him at the Digital Media Summit in Hollywood, I wasn’t sure if he’d shake my hand or pop me in the face. Turns out Herskovitz was a nice guy and has been very thoughtful — almost meditative — about his whole quarterlife experience. He sat down for an interview to talk about whether or not quarterlife will be back for a second season (they’re still figuring it out), the new web series that he’ll be launching, and what he thinks is lacking in other web series today.

  • Right now if you want to success with a web series you need to bring the production costs to the minimum and NOT rely on advertising to make money. Seems hard and I don’t have any ideas but this woman certainly figured it out: http://www.valsartdiary.com

  • Hahahaha Perhaps the reason he didn’t hit you in the face is he probably has no idea who you are and didn’t know you didn’t see eye to eye. Your a cocky reporter to think people actually give a sh!t who you are. Your a terrible writer.

  • Herskowitz sounds like a smart interesting man, I hope he brings back Quarterlife- it’s a small show, but I for one thought it was quite well done. I will now check out ‘the berg’ as per his comment.

  • Chill out, Paul! If you read Herskovitz’ previous comments on our site I think you’ll understand where Chris is coming from.

    Herskovitz is doing interesting stuff that figures pretty prominently in our coverage, so we are glad to be able to check in with him in person.
