Gosh, it\u2019s so exciting. There are so many creatures from the games that you are going to see.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s also a very fun moment, which I\u2019ll tease.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI want to say it\u2019s in episode four and five, where we see a side of Lucy that we have not seen before.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s when she meets The Kings for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a side of Lucy that even I didn\u2019t see coming. It\u2019s very, very, very fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nElla is also known for her portrayal of Jackie Taylor in Yellowjackets and she previously admitted she couldn&#8217;t bring herself to watch the episode where her stranded friends resorted to eating her character&#8217;s corpse.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said at a fan expo: \u201cI\u2019m gonna tell you a secret: I actually haven\u2019t watched that episode because I don\u2019t know what it\u2019s gonna do to my mental health.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t really want to risk it, so I haven\u2019t seen it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nElla also went on to explain that she found it &#8220;disconcerting&#8221; to see her cast mates taking pictures with the corpse of her character when they were filming Season Two.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cYeah, it was weird. I knew it was gonna happen, I kind of put two and two together. But I was filming Fallout, and the schedule was very, very demanding. I was exhausted. And I was getting the scripts for Season Two but I wasn\u2019t maybe reading them as quickly as I should have been, because I had a lot going on.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAnd I just woke up one morning, and I had all these pictures from my Yellowjackets castmates of them taking selfies with my charred corpse. You know when you wake up and you don\u2019t know where you are? It was like that but on steroids, because I woke up and I was like, \u2018Am I dead? What\u2019s happened?\u2019 So, it was a little bit disconcerting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/ella-purnell-enjoys-stunts-1435310.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>31 December 2025 Ella Purnell loves stunt work.
