It’s time to talk to Gretchen’s (Rachel Griffiths) right hands, David Sullivan and Troy Winbush who play Daniel Faber and Dean Young in Prime Video’s The Wilds.
In Season 1 we were introduced to the Dawn of Eve, an experiment Gretchen concocted that involves stranding a group of girls on a deserted island to assess their survival and leadership capabilities. Now, in Season 2, we meet their control group, the Twilight of Adam. That half of the experiment consists of a group of boys who are thrown into the same situation to see how they fare compared to the girls.
It’s a lot to manage and Gretchen can’t do it all without Faber and Young, particularly when it comes to the interrogation portion of the operation. Having worked as an FBI trauma specialist and an FBI agent respectively, Faber and Young are invaluable members of the team when trying to extract information about the test subjects’ experience after they’re removed from the island and held in a bunker for assessment.
With The Wilds Season 2 now streaming on Prime Video, I got the chance to chat with Sullivan and Winbush about their experiences working on the show. After spending much of the first season sharing scenes with the exceptional Dawn of Eve ensemble, they took a moment to discuss what it was like working with The Wilds newcomers, the Twilight of Adam cast members.
Check out what they had to say about that and their characters' personal motivations in this The Wilds Season 2 interview!
