Guys, congratulations on the show Thank You.
It's pretty amazing in terms of the scope of it
feels like a big, huge Hollywood blockbuster.
I mean, it's Netflix.
Obviously, there's a bit money behind it, obviously,
when you step on the set every day.
Do you kind of pinch yourself as to just not just how big it is,
but the detail and just these are real sets. There seems to be minimal CGI
and that you're stepping into this world rather than faking it as it were.
Yeah, it feels it's always impressive.
Yeah, it really does.
And it's thanks to Andrew Laws [Production Design[, who is essentially who's created this world.
All these amazing sets that I wandered around them frequently in between takes.
And I'm just, I wonder what's in this book.
And they've written like that. All these books.
I've got a wealth of knowledge just in case we see them on screen.
It's the detail of the
and the and the love that's been put into the show in every aspect.
In every department of the show is something.
It's one of the things I love most about it.
Yeah, even the Premiere, the snow globe.
Yeah, with... what monsters in it? I'm not.
I don't think we're allowed to say OK when I tell you
in the realm of secrets now, a couple of things that stuck with me.
No stray Starbucks coffee cups
on your set.
Oh God, I'm worried now
Your character's journeys.
Obviously are ever expanding.
You know, you get into season two, you delving more into the mythology.
What was the most kind of surprising thing about you reading the scripts for season
two about your characters individually?
Was it something when you read it, you thought, Oh, wow, that's.
I wasn't expecting that turn or that that character trait that's
that's now going to be part of.
I think that I can't speak for Yennefer, but I was I was so pleasantly surprised
and that we got to see aspects of Jaskier that
that just made him slightly more human and more grounded and more vulnerable.
The person behind the lute... Exactly.
Oh no, that's that's going on a T-shirt. Yeah.
Oh, thanks Anya...
Yeah, I got to I got to see a character
that was no longer just this performative
goon, and he was a he's now able to explore
some of this emotional vulnerability and and a bit of a darkness in him as well.
It feels like we've matured a lot the season. Yeah, the character's grown ups now...
Yeah, that's how it felt.
It feels. I don't know.
Um, yeah. For me.
Uh, I I, I was.
I mean, I'm always surprised at the end of it
because you create so much of a storyline, but definitely this season.
I mean, she goes through a huge shift in her journey,
one that I think has given her the biggest opportunity, more
so than any other character to kind of, you know, get under the skin of
of Yennefer, kind of find find out that she's she's about to start again.
Yeah, you said that line that's going on the T-shirt,
your fan base is so like rabid on Instagram and Twitter and stuff
that will be a T-shirt.
You're in the next couple of by Christmas time, you'll have a t shirt, I'm sure.
I was just talking to Henry [Cavil, Geralt] and he was saying about, obviously,
you know, people recognize him as Superman, but
and there's all you guys as well in this and that as an ensemble where you
sometimes don't get to work with everybody else .
Are you hopeful going forward that, you know, unexpected paths will cross?
You know, people worked with the Avengers, for example,
with excited about all the crossovers that came. Are you guys
hoping for something like that.
I think that's what makes the show so fun to shoot.
Yes, because we, you know, you'll get to one episode
and there'll be some rewrites or maybe like some changes and
and I'll go, Oh, wonderful, I've never worked with you.
I've known you for years and I've and and we've seen each other on set,
but we get to go and hang out and have a cup of tea . Exactly.
It's really, really, really fun because like everyone is, no one's an idiot.
Everyone's lovely.
Yes, it's like so rare and so an amazing job of getting these guys together.
Everyone's so lovely.
But also, like in this show, in a season, especially...
they've put people, the writers have put people together that just,
you wouldn't think , complement each other.
But actually, they are the biggest kind of complement
to each other because they they really do.
By putting two opposites together, you can kind of really.
Yeah, that's it. Exactly.
I think the thing with fandom these days as well in the sense
that fandom has become
such a big thing that when you do put to seemingly opposites together,
everyone get so surprised that it creates this new energy
for everything, which is, I guess, we really excited for you.
And obviously be renewed for season three already.
You can't give any spoilers for season two.
Obviously...Couldn't if I tried!
Was there fake scripts going around?
Did you guys know the whole story?
Because that's the thing now, isn't it, where people get given
fake pages as an audition with, oh
yeah, they get like fake scripts so that they don't get leaked?
Yeah.
But I mean, we're all talking about it and and Lauren [Schmidt, showrunner] is so collaborative
and so open that as we've I mean, like, we've not had any access
to anything on season three, but it's not that these conversations haven't started.
And and it's so rewarding.
No one. No.
one has a leadership style like Lauren.
She just is open and goes, what?
What do you what do you think?
Yeah.
And it's a gift to be able to go,
Well, yeah, let's just let's dove in and rip these these characters apart.
He always feels equal, but sometimes like it's not.
At the moment, it's not our job.
So, no, I think it's really kind of it's kind of exciting us stepping in
so like not knowing and figuring out as it goes along.
I think that really helps me. Mm-Hmm.
Excellent.
Guys, Wish you all the best for the show
anyway, so it's going gangbusters so far, so I'm going to get bigger.
Thank you so much for your time. Thank you so much.
Fist bump. Thank you much for.
