On Thursday January 16 at 8:55 p.m., Arte broadcasts a new episode of Vigil. A series notably worn by Rose Leslie, an actress who spent a shoot like no other…
A week ago, Vigil regained its rights to Arte. The series, which has won numerous awards across the Channel, presented itself with a second season full of surprises. Here, no more suspense at 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but an intrigue between Great Britain and the Middle East. Indeed, our Amy Silva and Kirsten Longacre will have their work cut out for them in the ranks of the air force, to shed light on an attack committed within a military base. Between Scotland and the fictional country of Wudyan, the thriller takes on a geopolitical aspect. Note, however, that one of our two main characters is not on the trip to Wudyan, due to a pregnancy…
Vigil : a series that adapts to its casting
A question then arises, was Rose Leslie, the interpreter of Kirsten Longacre, really pregnant at the time of filming? The answer is yes!

As transcribed by AlloCinéthe actress was able to count on the support of the production, which arranged her working days: “World Productions was fantastic in accommodating my pregnancy, and making sure I finished on time, and that my work days didn’t start too early, and that filming finished when I was 37 weeks. I really liked it.

Better yet, the producers and screenwriters of Vigil incorporated Rose Leslie’s pregnancy into the series. Thus, the couple that Kirsten forms with Amy is separated, the first remaining in Great Britain, while the other investigates at Wudyan. Rose Leslie comes back to this: “I liked the idea that Kirsten’s pregnancy forced her to stay at home in Scotland, which allowed us to separate in a natural and logical way. I felt that starting from this premise , it helped explain why their relationship was going to be torn apart again (…) My pregnancy helped develop the story and accelerated things which was really interesting in the second season. it was seeing the dynamic (of the duo). Silva) tries to slow me down, while I try to prove to him that I am still capable of fending for myself despite my pregnancy.”
