TV Fanatic chatted with Elodie about Thony’s new challenges in Season 2, how Thony and Fiona’s relationship adjustments, and what’s subsequent for Arman and Thony.
Hi Elodie. Can you tease what sort of challenges Thony will face in Season 2?
Oh, Laura, it’ll be intense. Season 1 was intense, so I questioned what the writers would do to proceed to make it entertaining and thrilling, and so they raised the bar.
In Season one, Thony involves the United States to save lots of her son, and he or she does something she has to maintain him alive. She will get to, sadly, navigate the underworld and the prison world of Vegas, the place this season, they’re increasing the theme of easy methods to save your son and the way far you’ll go to guard your loved ones.
So you are going to have extra Fiona, extra of the youngsters, and you are going to see Thony struggling much more on this prison world in Vegas.
So, it’s intense. We’re midseason, and I’m going by a curler coaster on daily basis I’m on set.
The net is increasing, so it is extra entertaining, in my view. It will get darker, and her decisions are questionable and generally comprehensible.
I feel we hold the identification that we have had in Season one, however the world is darker, and I feel the viewers shall be extra entertained.
How will Thony and Fiona’s relationship change due to Marco kidnapping Luca?
It’s the start line. There’s a wonderful dilemma for Fiona as a result of he is executed this, but additionally, he isn’t a prison. Marco is her expensive brother that she loves, and on the similar time, she will put herself in my footwear, and he or she’s a mom herself. She is aware of what I’m going by.
So there shall be a number of friction between Fiona and Thony, but additionally an understanding of issues and occasions that may carry them nearer collectively.
I’m glad. I like their sisterly bond.
Yes. It’s a sisterly bond. I do not know when you’ve got a sister your self, however generally it will get loopy, and the love remains to be right here, and the assist is heat. This is how I see it between Fiona and Thony. They are at reverse poles even of their character, however they’re pushed by the identical factor: defending their family members.
Will we see Tony accomplish her desires now that she has the cash?
Yes, it’s arrange within the premiere. That remains to be one among her targets. She cares for her son. She’s a physician. She cares about individuals and her household but additionally in regards to the individuals of how group. So she does need to rectify what’s an imbalance in her eyes.
She needs to assist individuals who haven’t got entry to medical care as a result of they do not have insurance coverage. They’re immigrants. So that is a objective of hers. Is she going to realize it? I am unable to let you know, proper? Because that is solely the start of the season.
Of course. And how is she managing the stress of her life with Arman in jail?
That’s only one half. There is a lot stress in her life. I do not know the way I handle my very own stress going to set on daily basis. It’s an excessive amount of. From what I’ve seen, she’s somebody who does not let go rapidly and makes compartments.
I feel subtraction is the instrument she’s utilizing to maintain going ahead. Her life is extraordinarily demanding. She lives in a high-stress surroundings and tries to maintain the items collectively.
That there is a driving drive in Thony–something highly effective and steady. But the place is it going? I’m curious to see that as a result of my shrink would inform me suppression is all that may work with individuals. But I’m wondering if it really works for her or how lengthy it can work for her. It’s how they deal with making compartments.
Will the sequence proceed to discover the undocumented expertise with the identical element they did final 12 months?
We filmed half of the season, and plenty of different issues are coated. We’ve executed an incredible job exploring enterprise; I used to be so happy with that and the ICE raid. And so clearly, we’re speaking about immigration. I feel we additionally spend time on different storylines on this season.
That was the want of the showrunners, and rightly so as a result of we need to know extra about Garrett’s life and the opposite characters coming to play. However, it’s nonetheless an underlying story. It’s nonetheless a part of her DNA.
That’s good to know, and can we see Tony and Nadia working collectively this season?
I do not know if working is the suitable phrase. We are crossing paths.
In Season 2, Thony crosses paths with many various individuals, so Thony and Nadia cross paths. That will trigger some stress. I like that season we see a further component.
And are you able to tease what’s going to occur for Arman and Thony for all of the followers?
Lots is going on already. We’re on the seventh episode now, and each episode is jam-packed. I can tease that they’ve a stronger bond. I am unable to let you know extra.
I perceive. Describe the Season 2 premiere in three phrases.
Exciting. Darker. Unpredictable.
