Phoebe had her doubts with the Second Season of Fleabag

The audience would have missed out on so much. So what changed her mind? Why did the audience eventually end up seeing the sizzling chemistry between Fleabag and the Hot Priest? Well, according to Phoebe, the epiphany came when she realized she could introduce a character that could see her true self, her interaction with the audience. “It opened the door wide open again” sad Phoebe in one of her interviews. But the establishment of a character wasn’t enough to convince Phoebe to come back to television again. She had Andrew Scott, the hot priest especially in mind while drafting this character.
