Purnell Teases Wild 'Sweetpea' Season 2
11 Dec
Summary
- Sweetpea Season 2 filming wrapped last month, actress Ella Purnell confirmed.
- Purnell described the new season as significantly more intense than the first.
- She noted the challenge of switching between characters for Fallout and Sweetpea.
Actress Ella Purnell revealed that filming for the second season of Sky Atlantic and Starz's dark comedy thriller, Sweetpea, has concluded. Purnell, who stars as the lead character Rhiannon Lewis, shared that the latest season is a significant escalation from its debut. She described it as 'bonkers' and a wild experience, hinting at a much larger scope compared to the more subdued first season.
The British actress, also known for her role in Prime Video's Fallout, discussed the demanding nature of portraying two vastly different characters. Purnell found it a unique challenge to switch between the violence-averse Lucy MacLean and the increasingly homicidal Rhiannon. She noted the stark contrast, observing that Rhiannon would readily perform actions that were significant deviations for her Fallout counterpart.
Purnell expressed feeling exhausted but satisfied after completing the demanding production schedule for Sweetpea Season 2. The renewal for the second season was confirmed last December, allowing Purnell to transition back into her role as the vengeful yet liberating character. Her dual performances in these prominent series highlight her versatility in dramatic and dark comedic roles.
