Grace Gummer spoke to WWD about her new horror series 'Let the Right One In' and why it's the perfect commentary on our 'chaotic, hostile, curious' times.
She plans to hunker down around New York for the coming months of holidays and baby anticipation, which also conveniently gives her plenty of time to talk about her new series, “Let the Right One In.” The psychological drama/horror series, an adaptation of a Swedish novel, wasn’t an immediate sell to Gummer, who has never been much of a horror fan before.
“I think what initially drove me to the show in general was Andrew [Hinderaker], the showrunner’s vision for it. He pitched it to me as this sort of larger metaphor for battling addiction — what lengths you will go to protect and save and help keep alive the people you love who are suffering,” Gummer says. “It felt like a human struggle that felt universal, and at the time especially — post COVID[-19], it felt like an important story to tell.
“The tone of the show feels like the world we’re living in right now. This sort of chaotic, hostile, curious, very unknown, strange time we’re living in,” Gummer says. “Feeling like everything is on the brink, but the thing that we can understand the most is love. The love we have for each other. That just really spoke to me.
