What prompted Zoe Saldaña to star in a spy series?
“We were in the midst of the health emergency. The thought of me committing to a multi-season show was just daunting”the actress recalled. “I declined, explaining that I didn’t feel ready. I was scared stiff, like, ‘I’m going to fail. I’m just doing science fiction. It’s not for me.’ But it was Taylor Sheridan. Nicole Kidman was already involved in the production and she was also going to play a part. So obviously, that was a dream for me.”
Speaking about the project, Nicole Kidman talked about the need for spies to go unnoticed at all costs: “It’s a secret world. They put their country before themselves by remaining anonymous. They must remain anonymous to preserve their agenda.”
