Nicole, your character Celeste seems to be fine, but she’s struggling internally.
Nicole Kidman: For us in making a second season was trying to deal with the aftermath [of her husband’s death in Season 1] and go, “What is the truth?” Because I think a lot of people wanted the female characters to come out healed, and strong, and capable, and all of these things that would have been satisfying. And the truth is, particularly with somebody like Celeste, that’s not the case. It’s “Now I have to actually deal with all of these emotions that come with the loss.” It’s about, “I still want him,” and that addiction to a person, and the way in which that plays out is really fascinating to me.
But also wanting to just say something about being able to explore all these different cultures and ideas. As a producer now, we have a show that we’re looking to do in Hong Kong, that has a lead Korean female, has a lead Chinese female, has a lead American and a lead British. And that future is so exciting. But my gosh, with what’s happened to the world right now, it’s going to get harder and harder. And that’s terrifying. We need people like Sandra, going, “This is how you have to adjust the writing.”
Oh: There is an equal force: As soon as things start opening up, we’re going to start making this stuff, and there is this other force that comes in called a pandemic, that seems to be stopping the flow of making things in a different way. And I’m interested in how we increase an interior type of confidence and resilience and clarity in what is essential to make. This time for me [in sheltering at home] has been spent in contemplation. And one of the things that has come up for me mostly is: What is essential? And so even what you’re saying, Nicole, it’s like all of these things are happening and now we have all these other challenges. It is up to us, who have some ability and knowledge to impart, to try and find these different avenues.
Kidman: There’s so many opportunities, we’ve all been working so hard to create these paths and just trying to keep them open and forging ahead ... but I suppose that’s why I was so excited to just have this conversation, because I haven’t had a lot of conversations about what the future holds, and how do we keep doing this.
