Everett appeared last season in one episode as Giorgio Barbieri, the owner of a global interior design firm based in Rome. “I did a scene in the latest season, and they told me, ‘Next year we’ll speak,’” he told Vanity Fair “I waited for them to call me—but ultimately, it never came, and they just fired me. Show business is always very difficult, from the beginning to the end. When they write the screenplay, they think they want you—but then things change, and they lose your character. I don’t know why. For me, it was a tragedy. I was in bed for two weeks because I couldn’t get over it.” A source close to the production tells Vanity Fair that Everett was hired as a guest star, and his character’s story came to a conclusion. Netflix declined to comment on Everett’s version of events.
