Liv Hewson’s, Jasmin Savoy Brown’s, and Sophie Thatcher’s characters—Van, Taissa, and Natalie, respectively—are all in very different places at the start of season three: Van and Taissa are falling more deeply in love, while Nat continues to struggle with the grief and anger that chased her even before the crash. But it’s clear from observing the actors’ chemistry in person that they couldn’t be more aligned. Here Vogue speaks to the trio about reprising their roles for a third season, reveling in the lighter moments, collaborating with the actors who play their characters’ grown-up incarnations, and much more.
Vogue: How does it feel to officially have season three out in the world?
Sophie Thatcher: It’s a trip! I mean, it was a long stretch in between two and three, and we know that there’s been a lot of anticipation for it, so it’s kind of surreal to have it out in the world. But it’s cool. It’s definitely a relief. I’m really excited. I feel like later in the season, it gets pretty bonkers, so I’m excited for people to see that. That’s all I’m going to say.
Jasmin Savoy Brown: I second that. It’s very exciting, and I’m curious to see how people are going to react to the tonal shift, because the girls are in a very different place emotionally and physically.
You each have such specific and strong roles this season. How does it feel when you do stuff one-on-one? Or do you prefer the ensemble scenes?
Thatcher: All I know is that shooting the group scenes is a pain the ass. It takes a really long time, but it’s exciting. You get to learn a lot from other actors. We’re lucky because it’s such a talented crew, but yeah, I know that I really miss the first season, when it was just one-on-one scenes. Life was easier and simpler back then. [Laughs.] We had a lot more of those in season one.
Brown: It’s nice in one-on-one scenes because you really just get to sink your teeth into it and explore a moment with someone for longer. And I think we all long for more of those, except for Liv.
