Exclusive: Pippa Bennett-Warner & Brandon Micheal Hall talk Prime Video thriller series Chloe
Now playing on Prime Video is the much-anticipated psychological thriller Chloe, created by Alice Seabright (writer/director, Sex Education) and starring Erin Doherty (The Crown).
The six-episode series launched on June 24 on Prime Video in the U.S. and more than 240 countries and territories worldwide, after premiering to critical acclaim in the UK on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this past winter.
Chloe follows Becky Green (Doherty), who is obsessed with stalking her childhood friend Chloe Fairbourne’s (Poppy Gilbert) perfectly curated social media presence. Chloe’s charmed life, adoring husband, and circle of high-achieving friends are always just a click away, and Becky can’t resist peering into a world that contrasts so starkly with her own, as she cares for her mother, who has early onset dementia. When Chloe suddenly dies, Becky assumes a new identity and infiltrates the enviable lives of Chloe's closest friends to find out what happened to her.
Through her alter-ego Sasha, Becky becomes a powerful, transgressive heroine; a popular, well-connected “someone” with a life–and loves–that are far more exciting and addictive than the “no-one” she is as Becky. However, the pretense soon obscures and conflates reality, and she discovers Chloe’s real life had not been nearly as perfect as it was portrayed online. As Becky gets deeper into her con, and Chloe’s inner circle, she risks losing herself completely in the game she is playing.
In addition to Doherty and Gilbert, the series features Billy Howle as Elliot, Pippa Bennett-Warner as Livia, Jack Farthing as Richard, and Brandon Micheal Hall as Josh.
As Chloe’s best friend Livia Fulton, Pippa Bennett-Warner is best known for her roles on BBC’s thriller series Roadkill and the action-crime drama Gangs of London, which will return for a second season. Brandon Michael Hall plays Josh, Sasha’s on-and-off lover. Hall is best known for his lead roles in the ABC sitcom The Mayor, the CBS comedy-drama God Friended Me, and as a series regular on the TBS / HBO Max dark comedy Search Party.
Blackfilmandtv.com’s Wilson Morales spoke with Bennett-Warner and Hall on what it takes to accepting or making a new friend.
