Janelle Monáe on taking over as Homecoming star: 'There's no replacing Queen Julia'
season 1, especially when Julia Roberts was signing on, and I also loved Stephan James, and knowing those two were going to be in a show together, I was intrigued. And I was a fan ofseason 1 director] Sam Esmail, so I wanted to follow anything he was going to be involved in. I listened to the podcast and watched the show and fell in love, so, when I got the call to lead the second season, it was a no-brainer.
I knew that I loved the first season, then I found out Kyle Patrick Alvarez was shooting it, and I was a fan of his film,, and then when I read these episodes, I was like, "Oh wow, this is still going to have a very special quality and take everyone in an unexpected place." It's even more elevated this season — and even more suspenseful.
Well, first of all, Julia Roberts is the queen and one of my favorite actors. She actually showed up on set when I was doing a scene with Stephan. After we finished shooting a scene I heard this loud scream, and come to find out it was her. For her to respond with excitement, literally, and to meet and hug each other, that was enough to relax me. But, yes, going in I knew that the second season doesn’t depend on the first season, if that makes since.
I’m such a fan of the show, and, like most people, it’s very therapeutic and a safe space when you can watch a show not looking at it as an actor but looking at it as a fan of that show, and I didn’t want to spoil that from a fan perspective.
