Ahead of The Essex Serpent's premiere on Apple TV+, Collider had the opportunity to chat with Hiddleston and Danes about joining the period drama series and how their characters are poised to irrevocably impact one another's respective worlds. Over the course of the interview, which you can watch above or read below, the stars spoke about how filming in the Essex setting lent a sense of authenticity to the series as well as their performances, why Danes was attracted to this particular period drama story, and how Cora's costumes reflect the evolution of her character. Hiddleston also spoke about how Cora's arrival upends Will's life in the village, as well as whether he personally would be a believer in the existence of the Essex serpent.
