Criston Cole’s Secret Side: What Will Be Unveiled?
Frankel recently got candid about what’s coming next for Criston Cole: “I’m excited for people to see what Criston gets up to, I mean, he’s always up to something. But I will say it’s a very interesting season, and there are certainly discoveries about him that will be made along the way.”
The actor hints that Season 3 will peel back layers of Cole’s story, letting fans “discover” sides of the character they’ve never seen before. As debate rages on whether Criston is misunderstood, Frankel teased that there’s a lot viewers don’t know about his past, motivations, and connections.

He’s aware of all the spicy internet takes and memes, but wants fans to keep an open mind: “It’s hard for people to understand the why of what he’s doing all the time, and I feel that way as well,” he told Esquire.
