“It’s even more elevated this season and even more suspenseful.”
“She’s very accomplished and known, but her persona is still that of a chameleon.
There’s a curiosity about her, and we weaved that into the character.”

And I was a fan ofMr.
Ali Goldstein/Amazon Studios
It’s even more elevated this season and even more suspenseful.
I feel like it cut through differently and doesnt feel reminiscent of anything on TV.
Im super excited about this project.
I cant wait for people to finally see what we worked so hard on.
Well, first of all, Julia Roberts is the queen and one of my favorite actors.
She actually showed up on set when I was doing a scene with Stephan.
But, in fact, Im not.
There’s no replacing Queen Julia.
What can you tell me about your character, Jackie?
Another thing that was intriguing was being able to play Jackie, this woman who lost her memory.
She remembers nothing about herself, so I loved the search of self-discovery that shes going on.
Jackie is kept in the dark and discovering things as the season goes.
I did a lot of research on memory loss.
This is your first starring role on a television series, so what was that experience like?
I took a lot more risks.
So it was great that we rehearsed, which I love doing.
I love talking through the scenes with the director and the rest of the cast, troubleshooting things.
I just felt in good hands the whole way, and it felt like family.
For that to be my first experience, its going to be one that Ill never forget.
Ill always remember my days shootingHomecoming.
What can you share about the dynamic between those two characters?
We’re both veterans searching for what we don’t know.
We’re both searching for the truth.
Geist is a name we realize has this significance to our path.
Geist the company plays a larger role this season.
So, particularly with me, its like the area of my past that I cant remember.
Chris Cooper plays the founder, Leonard Geist, so Im super excited about that.
Hes one of my favorite actors.
How would you describe season 2 in only a few words?
What I will say will either make them watch or not.
[Laughs] I would say mystery, psychologically thrilling, and nothing is what it is acting like.
