With the first season finding Matt's character EJ stuck in a love triangle with Nini (Olivia Rodrigo) and Ricky (Joshua Bassett), season two takes his character in a new direction. After choosing Ricky over EJ (Matt Cornett), Matt shared that his character comes into his own in the new season. As Matt shares in the interview, "I think E.J. coming into this season, he's really just trying to kind of figure himself out. I think he's kind of been humbled a little bit, and he's starting to realize that there's more to the world than himself at times. I think he's really just trying to kind of focus on where he wants his life to go and really what's important to him. He's trying to figure out like, 'What's next for me?' and 'What's next for my life?".

Matt also shared that following the success of his co-star Olivia Rodrigue's recent solo music debut, he has considered pursuing his music career at some point. Stating, "I'd love to do some kind of music of my own in the future."
