At the festival, Julie opened up about one of the show’s upcoming episodes, which is set in film noir.
“Legacies is doing its first and maybe only film noir episode, which is born out of the brilliant mind of [executive producer] Brett Matthews, who actually studied noir in film school and is a huge fan of the genre and knows it intimately,” she told EW. “We just wanted to dive into a fantasy world we hadn’t done before.”
“It was just a genre that stuck with me for a long time,” Brett added. “Actually, we had the episode broken and we didn’t know conceptually what we wanted the world to be. There were a lot of ideas on the table. There was Western, there was steampunk, there was Victorian. Film noir just became the perfect storm of producible and fit the tone of the season and that particular episode.”
The Legacies film noir episode, titled, “There’s a Place Where the Lost Things Go,” will air on March 12th on The CW!
The love triangle between Hope, Landon and Josie on Legacies is about to become even more complicated than it once was, Danielle Rose Russell reveals.
In her interview with TV Guide, the 20-year-old actress opened up about the relationship between the three characters, now that they have their memories back and know exactly who Hope is.
“I just think that he doesn’t know what to do,” Danielle shared about Landon’s (Aria Shahghasemi) shock of the situation. “He wants to do right by everyone, including Josie, and by himself. So I think he’s mixed in how to go about the way that he feels because he definitely cares for Josie as well, but he definitely knows that he’s in love with Hope too.”
“I think that she’s [Hope] sacred because she doesn’t know which direction he’s going to go in,” Danielle adds. “And she can’t expect him [to choose her] or blame him if he chooses something that makes her unhappy. So I think it’s really hard for her to try to disconnect and just let him decide.”
She added that Josie, played by Kaylee Bryant, is an important part of everything too.
“I think it’s gonna take some time for them to reach a good point in their relationship,” Danielle says. “I think that it’s going to be really hard for both people to fully be able to accept all the things that have happened. But it doesn’t mean it can’t happen.”
In an interview with TVLine, Jenny, Danielle and Kaylee all opened up about what’s ahead for their characters in season two.
For Lizzie and Josie, Kaylee and Jenny opened up about the merge.
“I really don’t think Josie’s in a place where she would fight back,†Kaylee says. “She’d let her win.†Jenny, though, is convinced that it would be a close battle.
Danielle also chatted about a world without Hope: “It’s definitely a change of pace…it gives these guys a little bit of freedom to explore different situations and dynamics now, because it’s justified. Last year, certain things wouldn’t have been justified, but now we get to experiment a little bit — until Hope is remembered and all hell breaks loose.â€
The stars of Legacies are dishing on what they hope for out of the show’s second season!
Danielle Rose Russell shared that she wishes for a relationship between Hope and Josie, if the story line can work it in.
“I think that it’s really cool to have a female protagonist of a show be sexually fluid, and I think that’s, you know, something that I’m really proud to represent as well,” she told TV Guide. “If it ever made sense in the storyline, I would be so happy to do it… but if the story didn’t really permit for it, I don’t think that I’d really be for it.”
Matthew Davis is also hoping for some love for Alaric and it’s at the top of his wish list. He would also love to have Caroline Forbes aka Candice King return!
“I would love for her to come by,” he said. “Candice [is] a mom, and she’s enjoying her life right now. She’s always welcome to come through if that’s what she wants to do because Caroline would be a welcome addition to our storyline.”
“I think that season two will definitely explore Hope’s absence in this world and the impact that she does have,” Danielle said. “I’d really love to explore her darker side a bit after jumping into Malivore. I’m sure it’s taken some sort of effect on her mental psyche.”
“I’d really like to see how Hope handles situations, traumatic situations, more on-screen,” she added. “Because after the death of her parents, we kind of did a time jump, and we didn’t really see that process, and I’d love to see that process explored a little bit more. And I’d also love to see the impact that it has on Hope and Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) because she did it for them, so it’s kind of a beautiful and tragic dynamic that I’m really excited to see more of next year.”
