Anne, Anne with an E

From Victoria Ahearn of the Canadian Press:

Anne with an E adds first black character, LGBTQ storyline with season 2
“It’s always been a concern to me that L.M. Montgomery’s world of Avonlea is such a white world when in fact it doesn’t really accurately reflect the diversity that Canada was and is.” Continue reading. 

From Melissa Girimonte of The Televixen:

Link: Growing up with Anne: Amybeth McNulty on Season 2 of Anne with an E
“There’s definitely more of a stability in her now. She’s not afraid that she’s going to be sent away if she makes mistakes. She has a family to help her learn about her mistakes instead and help her become a better person.” Continue reading.

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:

Link: Anne with an E’s Amybeth McNulty previews Anne’s Season 2 journey
“We’re definitely going to have more flashbacks, but they aren’t all going to be negative, which I thought was interesting. We see some more positive sides of how Anne fought her time in the orphanage and what those experiences gave her.” Continue reading.

From Leora Heilbronn of Brief Take:

Link: Interview: Anne with an E’s Amybeth McNulty
“She definitely has her fiery temper, which I think that some people can see as a kind of downfall of hers, but I guess that I kind of see it more as a strength, which I think is so beautiful. She’s one of my favourite characters ever. So I’m grateful that I get to incorporate parts of my heart and soul into playing her.” Continue reading.

Frankie Drake Mysteries

From Sabrina Furminger of YVR Screen Scene:

Link: Lauren Lee Smith dishes on second season of ‘Frankie Drake Mysteries’
“Their relationship is volatile and they don’t see eye to eye, ever. He definitely creates a huge challenge and huge barriers for her in season two. She has to constantly figure out how to get around him and outsmart him.” Continue reading.

From Kelly Townsend of The TV Junkies:

Link: Frankie Drake Mysteries: Lauren Lee Smith on returning to the 1920s
“We had spent a good chunk of time getting over the exhaustion of filming a TV show, so we were all so ready and so excited to come back. We all kind of had an outline of what the season was going to look like and what at least the first few episodes looked like. We were all just super stoked to get back into it and get back into these characters.” Continue reading.

From She Does the City:

Link: CBC’s Frankie Drake Mysteries inspired by post-WWI book Toronto Girl Problems
It was during a research effort for Murdoch Mysteries that Carol Hay and Michelle Ricci came across a historical book entitled Toronto Girl Problems, which was published after World War I. Continue reading. 

From Debra Yeo of the Toronto Star:

Link: We said yes to a vintage dress for our Frankie Drake Mysteries debut
Back when I was a vintage clothing-loving teenager, coveting a bona fide flapper dress, there was one thing I didn’t figure on: old-fashioned fabrics aren’t so breathable.

In present-day Toronto, attired in a dream of a 1920s dress, I am mortified to realize as I resume my place for the umpteenth take of a dance scene in Frankie Drake Mysteries that the sweat smell I detect is coming from me. Continue reading.

Killjoys

Links: Killjoys, “Sporemageddon”

From Heather M. of TV Goodness:

Link: Adam Barken deconstructs the Killjoys Season 4 finale, “Sporemageddon”
“Before the [two-season] pickup, we talked about what The Lady’s power would be. At the end of each season, we’ve sent [someone] away—first D’av, then Johnny, then Dutch. We didn’t want to do that again. We thought if we had two seasons, we could do the ultimate thing and take away the one thing they rely on–each other. And what if they didn’t know who each other was or who they are in relation to each other?” Continue reading.

From Kelly Townsend of The TV Junkies:

Link: Killjoys: Adam Barken talks “Sporemageddon”
“We were talking in the summer about what we would do if we came back, and we both thought that after three seasons of cliffhangers, we needed something special. Season 1 ended with D’av (Luke Macfarlane) being split off from the group. Season 2 ended with Johnny leaving. And Season 3 ended with Dutch going off into the Green. We kind of ran out of Killjoys to make go away.” Continue reading.

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:

Link: Wynonna Earp: Emily Andras talks “The Other Woman”
“Time and time again on Wynonna Earp we see that fate and the universe are just so cruel. Destiny is just unfeeling and seems to just want what it wants, and time and time again I feel like the Earp sisters are up against what they feel like is their lack of free will.” Continue reading.

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:

Link: Why director April Mullen loves tackling the unique challenges presented by Wynonna Earp
“I remember watching Wynonna for the first time and thinking how much the tone was something I hadn’t seen before on TV. The tone had eccentricities and there was so much heart. You could cry in an episode and laugh your head off.” Continue reading.
