What has it been like for you to have Matthew Goode as a partner in all of this? I’m guessing that the two of you started this journey as most co-stars do, as strangers, and you’ve obviously gotten to know each other, as actors and as people. RELATED: Teresa Palmer on 'A Discovery of Witches' Season 2, Diana's Profound Journey, & Filming Season 3 He gets really out of control and out of hand in Season 3, but to me, he’s a more likable villain than Benjamin. A villain is done really well when a character is colorful enough that, whilst you don’t agree with their choices, you can understand where the trauma’s coming from and why they’re triggered in the ways that they’re triggered. With Knox, it’s complicated because there were moments for me, in Season 1, when the complexity of Knox, as a character, made me feel for him, in some ways. He just seems like a terrible individual. It doesn’t feel like there are many colors to his character, in that way. He’s just one of the most horrifying characters that I’ve seen on screen, that’s pure evil. What can you say about the type of villain that someone like Peter Knox is, in comparison to the danger that someone like Benjamin represents? It definitely feels like this is a season where everything has to reach some kind of turning point and there’s no way to avoid it or put it off any longer. I think she’s she oscillates between deep grief, and then wanting to seek her revenge. So then, there’s that burning desire to seek justice, but also to put a stop to all of the wrongdoing. They’re being involved in a way that is just.

There are innocent people caught up in the chaos of what the congregation is doing. And also, it’s that final moment of, “None of this is okay.” The separatism and the violence and the anger is completely backwards and now people are being killed, including her loved ones. It really profoundly impacts Diana and gives her this burning drive to find justice. We’d come to the end of our Valarie journey, and she was such a ray of sunshine and such a bright life in the cast. So many of my real emotions were coming through with that.

I found it really hard, personally, because we were grieving Emily, but we were also grieving Val because we didn’t get to work with Val anymore. It’s not unlike when she lost her parents, many years ago, when she was younger. PALMER: I think the first two episodes really beautifully take a look at the grieving process and how it affects everyone very differently. What does the loss of Emily mean to her? How will that guide her actions this season? I felt at peace, in many ways.Īt the beginning of this season, Diana is dealing with grief over the loss of a family member.

Her growth is so immense, from the first time you see her on-screen to the last time you see her, that it felt like she’d come full circle and it was time for her journey to come to a close on-screen. Certainly, it was bittersweet, but I love where Diana finishes this series. Everyone felt like it organically came to an end, where we all were okay with letting it go. I was excited for everyone’s journey, moving forward. And then, when Season 2 and Season 3 were ordered before we had finished filming Season 1, that was really overwhelming and certainly just a very exciting time in my life.īy the last day, I think I had stretched out the grieving process, so that by the last day, I was excited. I had massive hopes for the show, and my hopes were completely exceeded when we found out the numbers.

I was just filled with so many different emotions, but mainly I would say the prominent feeling was being nervous because there’s such a huge fan base of the book series and I knew there’d be a certain expectation on me, coming from those fans.īut honestly, none of those nerves needed to be there because I was so warmly embraced and encouraged and supported to forge my own version of Diana. It was that excited anticipation of what the series could be, how it would unfold, and how we could really bring these magical, pardon the pun, words to life that Deb Harkness had written. So, I probably had about 15 or 20 minutes of sleep the night before.

I never sleep the night before the first day of a job. TERESA PALMER: Day one, I just remember being riddled with nerves. When you went into your first day on this series, what were you most hoping for? What were you most looking forward to and what was your hope for what it would be? Collider: I love this show and I love the look of this show, with the atmosphere and vibe that it has.
