Ncuti Gatwa’s version of Doctor Who “chimes with queer energy”

admin, , , ,

Wreck creator Ryan J. Brown discusses the long-awaited second season of BBC’s slasher comedy series with stars Miya Ocego and Sam Buttery. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN With a switch from slasher to folk horror, the absence of the Sacramentum and the savage deaths of beloved heroes, “safe” isn’t a word that can be associated with the second season of Wreck. “I just wanted to come back with a bang, and I think we’ve created a space for those things to happen now,” writer and creator Ryan J.

WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC “Scarlet Envy” and “viral” go hand-in-hand at this point.
