Speaking about Geillis’ impact on the season’s continuation, Verbeek stressed that her return is more than symbolic: it’s a catalyst for crucial events throughout the season. Her character, known for her complexity and her ability to unleash both chaos and revelations, will play a central role at this stage of the story.
So we can expect Geillis’ presence to not only shed some light on the mysteries of time travel but also bring with it key moments, introducing us right into the beginning of Geillis and Duncan’s story, all under the watchful eye of their son, Buck — which will be confusing enough for him — and also Roger, who will learn more about this mysterious and dangerous woman.
In addition, Lotte Verbeek reflected on the experience of playing Geillis again after several years. For her, it was an exciting challenge to explore the origins of this character before she became the figure we all know. This approach allowed the actress to delve into Geillis’s initial motivations, her worldview, and the decisions that led her to take extreme paths.
