The Wilds Season 2 Interview: Sarah Pidgeon & Reign Edwards
125The ladies of The Wilds went through a lot in Season 1 of the Prime Video show. Yes, Season 2 brings new challenges, but the Dawn of Eve subjects must now navigate those while trying to manage the weight of those traumatic past events.
When Season 2 opens up, Sarah Pidgeon’s Leah is still reeling from being trapped in that hole by Helena Howard’s Nora. And making matters worse, no one else believes it really happened. Leah’s desperate to prove her suspicions true, but extreme self-doubt is starting to make her wonder, are the other girls right? Is she completely losing it? And speaking of Nora, she vanished out in the ocean while trying to save her sister Rachel (Reign Edwards) from a shark attack, an attack that resulted in the loss of one of Rachel's hands. As though things weren’t tough enough already, now Rachel is being suffocated by grief and guilt.
All of the characters on The Wilds face enormous challenges and must fight through some especially low lows, but they do get some moments of levity and hope every once in a while. Leah, however, seems to get less of those than most. Her obsession with figuring out the truth has her operating at an 11, fraught with tension, almost every single second of the show. Pidgeon’s ability to hit that level and keep herself there with such raw intensity is remarkable, but one’s got to imagine such a performance is incredibly demanding.
How exactly does one maintain that level of intensity without burning out? Find out what Pidgeon told me about that and hear about Edwards' experience keeping Nora's memory alive through her performance as Rachel in this The Wilds Season 2 interview!
