, the two projects do overlap. Both examine life at the intersection of queerness, gender fluidity, and Pakistani Muslim culture — subjects Baig says they will always explore.

Although Baig was once, in fact, a nanny, they tell me their approach to working with children really developed through their time at a nonprofit called.
Care — for children and for adults of all kinds — is what guides Baig in their creative process, connecting their nonprofit background to their theater work toand everything in between. “I see care as complicated and nuanced and therefore delicious, and it thrills me,” they say. “I can work this out with my therapist, but I have a feeling it’s connected to me not feeling cared for in the ways that I needed when I was much younger and for a sustained period of time.
Season two, which hits HBO Max on December 1, emphasizes love, and Sabi experiences a range of romantic encounters. While their dating life isn’t exactly stable, their friendship with 7ven is more solid than ever. “I’m interested in these two people not always being nice to each other, letting each other down in their own ways — and also it being a beautiful and necessary connection,” explains Baig.
