![]() Because the the longer I was on the show, the more moments there were where I thought, “Oh, man, I really want to grab this beast by the horns and just do it myself.” Because I found myself just thinking in a directorial way, pretty much from moments in Season 1. Well, I’ve been wanting to do that for a long time. Speaking of directing, congratulations on making your directorial debut this season with Episode 2. And I hope that the fans will agree that we did that relationship justice. I don’t know what you thought of them, but I thought they really stood out, Episodes 7 and 8. He was such a wonderful leader for that sequence, and for the whole two episodes that he directed. And we were very lucky to have Anthony Philipson direct us. But for me, it was also really important that that scene was directed by a director that I really trusted. And it’s exhilarating to go on that journey with her. She has such an easy access - well, I shouldn’t say easy, because I know that she goes to pretty dark places when she has to - but she’s so willing to go to those emotional, painful places. And you know that when it comes to an emotional scene like that you’re in great hands working with somebody like Emily, because it is just so alive, it’s so flowing, and we kind of just bounce off of each other. And it’s so easy to be in the moment with her, because she is open and willing to run with anything that you throw at her and she gives you so much back. Working with Emily has been just such a delight, because she is a an extremely spontaneous actor. What was that like given how long you’ve been working with Emily? ![]() You two got to do that really great final fight scene that brings her story to a close back at the home of Ragnar the Fearless from Season 1. And through a series of mainly misunderstandings and misinterpretations of intentions, she just keeps slipping away from him further and further. We see the progress of that relationship and how often Uhtred is trying to win her heart back, not as a lover but just as a friend because he truly cares for her and he considers her family. And then within that first season, that first chasm starts and the seed is sown for what happens in Season 5. Let’s not get into too many details, because then they become lovers. I just loved the concept of starting out the story where Uhtred and Brida are first brother and sister more or less. It was so intense, but it seems like a really natural progression for her character oddly enough. I loved Emily Cox as Brida this season, as this sort of crazy Dane cult leader. So he’s being more or less as celibate as she is. I think he’s still very much in love with her and he hasn’t gotten over that. He is still pining after his relationship with Aethelflaed, which they decided to give up for her to be able to become the Lady of Mercia. Anyway, he has been raising Aethelstan as his son, and he is with his buddies, Sihtric and Finan. I’m so glad that you’re such a fan of the show, because the names right now, they’re so confusing! There’s even more this season. And if you remember at the end of Season 4, he has been put in charge of raising Aethelstan away from the intrigues at the court, to keep him safe and to keep him away from his enemies’ sphere of reach. He is kind of the sheriff of Rumcofa, which is a border town and he is in the service of Aethelflaed, the Lady of Mercia. Where do we find Uhtred as this final season begins? He is fluent in German, English, and French.Variety spoke with Dreymon about the events of the season, his directorial debut, the impressive growth of several characters - and how Uhtred manages to look so young.
