Theyre trapped, but at least theyre trapped together.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What is it like making a show with such a rich mythology?

That is something we all are blessed with.
But in this case its definitely harder.
You have to really know everything you possibly can to really be able to immerse yourself in a world.
You could really just escape into this world.
But for us, we really escaped into this world, as [actors].
But its still easy enough to pick up from people, I think, in the first season.
And get fans to really get behind.
you’re able to tell theres something wrong.
I mean, obviously the whole thing of it being a love story is kind of shocking.
Because the whole relationship, theyve always been in chaos and chaotic circumstances.
So I always imagine, what if it wasnt chaos?
Would they really be together?
Or are they just together because of the circumstance?
So I dont know.
It seemed like he was just like, Hi, Im alive.
And she was like, Okay, youre my boyfriend again.
Kind of annoyed me.
Will that be explored more in the future?I mean, I hope so.
Whether its her and Philo or her and Tourmaline, youve got to explore both relationships.
So that to me is always going to be stronger than someone you love.
And everyone can understand being the other, or feeling like the other.
And I think it doesnt matter where the conversation happens.
Im just very glad to be paying such an incredible part.
But also, I think, just her trajectory and where shes going will be interesting enough.
How much of her backstory did they reveal to you up front?Not much, to be honest.
Because this whole season, the first season, is mostly about Philo and his past.
So I kind of had to make it up, or discover it myself.
So it was mostly with the big, big flying scenes.
Probably the most challenging though… just flying, wet.
The jumping from emotional extremities was so much.
Like, fing ferocious anger, to fear-based sadness, to then, like, childlike.
I just started feeling a bit like a sociopath.
That was the most exhausting part, was the emotional stuff.
It was just a nightmare.
Literally anything you see, I was just a mess.
But I can promise you that you will be shocked.
Or not, depending on what you think.
[Laughs]
