Speaking to Deadline, Dillon showed support for Renner, who has survived a near-fatal snow ploughing accident.
Dillon confirmed that he was informed of Renner’s injuries “from one of the other producers.” He added, “I saw it on the news and then he sent me a video.”
“He’s very funny. I just think the world of that guy and I’m happy he’s surrounded by his family,” said the director.
Offering his full support, Dillon added, “Anything we can do to help, we will,” praising Renner, “That’s the biggest thing. He’s like family.”

Dillon also touched on the potential continuity of the series when asked about when a third season might begin filming as the show has yet to be officially renewed for third season.
