Recollecting the filming of these gripping moments, Will shared, “This incredible icy lake was made out of wax. It was a cold frosty night and you’ve got this huge limousine sunk into it. When you’re walking on the wax, it felt like ice and you worried you were going to fall in.

Will expressed his desire for the family dynamics to further evolve with the return of Nicky, played by Lewis Cope: “I’d love for Lewis to come back. I didn’t want him to go.

“It’s been a gift to do such big scenes. They’re dark subjects but you’ve got to embrace the darkness of it. They’re really challenging but you want to get them right,” says Will.
