Brand New Cherry Flavor's Jeff Ward on Being Inspired by Mulholland Drive
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers through the season finale of Brand New Cherry Flavor, “Bodies.”]
From creators Nick Antosca (Channel Zero) and Lenore Zion, the horror drama Brand New Cherry Flavor follows Lisa Nova (Rosa Salazar), as she comes to Los Angeles with the goal of directing her first feature film. After believing that Lou Burke (Eric Lange) can make that happen for her, she quickly learns that he’s more predator than producer and turns to the mysterious Boro (Catherine Keener) to set a curse in motion that threatens everyone and everything Lisa has ever known.
In what is quite possibly the wildest TV series Netflix has released, actor Jeff Ward plays Roy Hardaway, a movie star that seeks thrills to break through the numbness of the everyday, but quickly finds himself trapped in a dangerous spiral he can’t seem to break out of, that always comes back to Lisa Nova. During this 1-on-1 interview with Collider, which you can both watch and read, he dove deep into spoilers and talked about not going half-way with material like this, how much he knew ahead of time about what the series would be, having Salazar alongside him as a co-star, the shocking sex scene in Episode 4, all of those kittens, how much they actually used practical effects, and being inspired by Mulholland Drive.
