11/17/2023 0 Comments Apocalypse starzAnytime you film something, unless you lead and are in every scene, you’re going to miss out on certain scenes, so you’re always kind of surprised when you watch the final product. What was it like essentially only filming with one other person, despite the show having an ensemble cast? Did it feel a bit like a bubble?Ī little bit, but not so much. Your character in "Now Apocalypse," Gabriel, is only in scenes with Avan Jogia's character, Ulysses. "I was like, 'I think I’m going to be okay.'"ĭuring an interview at Sundance Film Festival, where the show premiered, Tyler Posey chatter with AOL's Gibson Johns about taking on "Now Apocalypse" after "Teen Wolf," working with Gregg Araki, sexual fluidity and more. "I had a conversation with my reps before and they were like, 'Look, if you feel uncomfortable on set at all - there’s a lot of nudity - give us a call,'" he told AOL. Nearly every character is either semi- of fully-nude in the first two episodes of "Now Apocalypse," which centers around a group of struggling actors and writers in Los Angeles, and it was something that the actor was "all in" for. "And I think it’s cool that somebody could see me on the show and say, 'Hey, that kid is really comfortable with his sexuality, and he’s going all for it and that can inspire me to love myself.'"Īnother thing that Posey said he didn't think twice about: the show's gratuitous nudity. "I was excited to play a gay character, because I’m really comfortable with my sexuality," he told AOL's Gibson Johns in a sit-down interview. The actor, who identifies as straight, simultaneously recognized the significance of his character's sexual orientation and didn't want to make a big deal out it. In Gregg Araki's racy new Starz series, the actor, 27, plays Gabriel, a mysterious and elusive love interest for the show's lead, Ulysses (Avan Jogia), making it the first gay tole that Posey has taken on in his career. "I knew it would be a challenge for me as an actor and for me personally but I was so excited about it, and then actually getting onto set was nothing but so much fun, and that's because of this whole vibe that Gregg sets with the crew, with the cast, everyone's on the same page."Now Apocalypse" is a departure for Tyler Posey, who shot to fame on MTV's long-running "Teen Wolf." While speaking with some of the show's cast and crew on a panel for the Build Series, Berglund explained that doing Now Apocalypse " was kind of a big step" in her career. While the science-fiction adjacent plot of Lab Rats may have prepared Berglund in some way for Now Apocalypse, there's no mistaking the content of the Starz series for anything resembling a Disney sitcom. Lab Rats was a sitcom that focused on a group of teenagers with bionic superpowers over the course of four seasons and 89 episodes. Kelli Berglund's most prominent role in film or television prior to Now Apocalypse was the character of Bree Davenport on the Disney XD Series Lab Rats, an ironic coincidence considering that the conspiracy lying under the surface of Now Apocalypse may reveal that Carly's entire group of friends are lab rats of their own. Burgland is a more successful actress than the character she plays in Now Apocalypse, but that's because she's been working steadily for over a decade, primarily in children's entertainment. When the series' main character, Ulysses, isn't busy trying to determine if his paranoid thoughts are indicators of a real conspiracy or just a marijuana-inspired delusion, he's seen debating different sexual philosophies and mourning the difficulties of city life with Carly. The actress who plays Carly on Now Apocalypse has been on television since 2006, but it's safe to say that her character in this sexually open series is a massive change of pace from the roles that she's known for.Ĭarly is played by Kelli Burgland and serves as sort of a second-lead to the series. Carly, for instance, seems mostly interested in trying to secure her next acting gig and building a base of viewers for her cam shows. However, some of the show's characters have bigger problems than uncovering a massive conspiracy. Now Apocalypse is the latest premium-cable series about the intersections of love and sex in a major city, but unlike Sex And The City, Looking, or Queer As Folk, there's an apocalyptic dread coursing through the new Starz series.
