What did you think when reprising your role for this new season?
Ophelia Kolb: First of all, as actors, we were very happy to meet again. We hadn't seen each other since filming ended. And then, Panda is an extremely joyful series, even enchanted! We all worked hard to ensure that the result really felt good, and the feedback we received during the broadcast of the first season lifted our hearts. I did not participate in the writing of the sequel, but I arrived with absolute confidence in the creators, Thomas Mansuy and Mathieu Leblanc, who are also the screenwriters. As a little thing happened at the end of season 1, between Panda and Lola (a kiss!, editor's note), we inevitably ask ourselves, for the future: “What do we do with it?” »
Is the character of Lola, a hyper-tense police captain, becoming a little less “freaky”?
Yes, but I admit that it disturbed me that we used this term for Lola in season 1. We will say that she softens. She's less angry, and she hates life a lot less.
And is the dynamic between the two characters, very cat and dog, reversed?
-No. They always bicker. But they're not really cats and dogs. I rather think that they are like two cats circling each other…
