The much-anticipatedsecond season of “The Wilds"is set to premiere on Prime Video on May 6.
Season 2 promises to add to that, with old and new characters continuing the story.
Edwards plays Rachel, and Pidgeon plays Leah in the series.
At theend of the first season, both of their characters were left in dire situations.
The actresses shared what it was like jumping into the new season with their characters in those dark places.
What was it like for you to act that?
I’m really excited for everybody to see it.
It was very, very challenging in the best ways possible.
I’m glad we got to give those performances.
What about for you, Sarah?
It was cathartic to step back into that again and know that there might be some relief soon.
It was wonderful watching Reign work.
She does such a fantastic job in very, very difficult scenes.
It was hard to watch sometimes as a scene partner, but she did such a beautiful job.
It was easy to step up when you saw something like that.
Pidgeon:[There’s] the change of adding more characters.
There’s more intensity because there are more stories.
There’s more feeling.
There’s more conflict.
The shooting schedule was different.
We were in a different country as well, so the environment was different.
That’s not as imminent [a] threat, although they are still surviving in Season 2.
Yeah, and then your characters got a lot closer in this season.
A lot of our stuff was really hilarious to me.
“The Wilds” Season 2 premieres on Prime Video on May 6, 2022.
