Sam is just such a vibrant, passionate, unapologetic human, and so different than Tree.

She really believes that shes going to save the world.

I like to believe that I carry a little more of Sam in me now than I did before.

Its just been a joy.

There are definitely a lot of disturbing things explored in this story.

The viral pandemic parallel really didnt come into play until the last eight months or so, unfortunately.

ROTHE: Theres just so much humanity and heart in these characters and in this story.

It has been surreal watching the current events unfold and feeling like its deja vu from shooting.

Thats a message we need now more than ever.

ROTHE: Its the best.

Thats just such a fun and exciting creative place to live in.

Does it also make you feel nervous to hold it because people will freak out if something happens?

The moments where it really comes to life are truly exciting.

ROTHE: Thats a great question and phrased very well.

Thats just such an exciting place for an audience to live.

BORGES: And thats basically the place that Wilson has been living from his entire life.

Hes very comfortable in his bunker behind his screen.

When he actually interacts with humans, seeing thats not in his wheelhouse, those arent his strengths.

Utopiais available to stream at Amazon Prime Video.
