Knudsen will play a central role in the new season, bringing her singular combination of intelligence, gravitas, and emotional complexity to the series. Full character details will be revealed closer to the premiere. Production on Season 2 has started in Denmark.

You can feel how deeply the entire creative team and cast are invested in this world, and they have been incredibly generous in making me feel so welcome. I am honestly having a great time."
