While talking to the Metro, the documentaries director Joe Berlinger revealed he is still in contact with Pablo who says he was nervous about partaking in the show.

Joe said: "He and I actually communicate from time to time since we finished filming".

"He keeps me updated on his activities and I’m really happy to report that he’s recording again and he found the whole experience of participating [good] and kind of getting it out there, even though he’s nervous about the show coming out and what people will think and reliving the nightmare."
