    “You might have a household that’s your blood, however on the finish of the day, it’s in regards to the folks that you simply select to be in your life and folks that you simply love in that method. Abbie is Leila’s chosen household,” Lind mentioned.

    The theme was naturally mirrored behind-the-scenes, the place the younger solid shortly bonded and turned their traumatic on-screen experiences into Canadian summer time camp with the cameras off. As creepy because the Academy set was (“I like ghosts, it felt haunted,” Lind mentioned), it helped actors faucet into the precise head area earlier than clocking out to benefit from the area journey an hour exterior of Toronto.

    After filming the pilot collectively — to not point out going by their closing spherical of auditions, switching between Abbie and Leila and never realizing they’d nabbed the roles — Lind and Topliffe’s on-set destiny mirrored their characters’ as they needed to work individually.

    “Within the story, we’re one another’s safety blankets, so it seems bizarre after we’re not collectively.
