Ducks, body horror and queerness: Wreck stars talk “gruesome” season 2
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.
Brown tells GAY TIMES. “Anyone can die at any moment.” Season two follows Jamie (Oscar Kennedy) and Vivian (Thaddea Graham) in their attempts to expose the blood-thirsty Velorum Corporation by infiltrating their latest deranged venture – a so-called ‘wellness’ festival for millionaires in the Slovenian countryside that, once again, has hidden murderous motives.
All of the main players return, such as Rosie (Miya Ocego), Olly (Anthony Rickman), Sophia (Alice Nokes), Comac (Peter Claffey), Lauren (Amber Grappy), Karen (Harriet Webb) and Officer Beaker (Warren James Dunning).
