Ella Purnell Promises Exciting Season 2 of ‘Sweetpea’ After Filming Wraps
Ella Purnell has concluded filming for the much-anticipated second season of “Sweetpea.” This British dark comedy thriller series airs on Sky Atlantic and Starz. Following her recent wrap, Purnell shared insights about her experience and what’s in store for viewers.
Exciting Developments in Season 2 of “Sweetpea”
Purnell reprises her role as Rhiannon Lewis, a character that transforms from a quiet wallflower into a figure with a newfound taste for vengeance. The actress expressed her exhaustion but affirmed that the effort was immensely worthwhile.
“It was a really crazy season,” said Purnell. “Season 1 was quite small and tame compared to how bonkers this season is. There’s so much in it. It’s big.” This season is expected to bring intense drama and thrilling plot twists.
Character Growth and Duality
- Character Transformation: Rhiannon evolves into a more assertive and lethal persona.
- Contrast with Fallout: Purnell also stars in “Fallout” as Lucy MacLean, showcasing her range as an actress.
- Character Switch: Purnell noted the challenge of switching between her more pacifistic character in “Fallout” and the violent tendencies of Rhiannon.
The contrast between her two roles highlights Purnell’s versatility. She noted, “When Lucy does even the slightest bad thing, I’m reminded that Rhiannon would act without hesitation.”
Upcoming Projects
Fans can look forward to “Fallout,” premiering on December 17 on Prime Video, where new episodes will release weekly on Wednesdays. This dual role adds to Purnell’s growing popularity and showcases her ability to navigate complex characters.
As anticipation builds for both of her shows, Purnell continues to demonstrate her dynamic talent in the entertainment industry. Season 2 of “Sweetpea” is set to captivate audiences with its bold narrative and thrilling updates.
