During a chat with HeyUGuys, Edgar-Jones gave her thoughts on why setting the story in modern-day Europe was so appealing to her. “One of the more interesting things I thought we explored was our relationship with technology and our dependency on it,” she said. “We’ve grown so used to being able to solve things at the touch of our phones or to communicate that way and to travel using airplanes and all of that. And so, I think it’s interesting to explore what it would be like if suddenly, that technology wasn’t available to us and we have to navigate the world using other tools … And that’s why the modern adaptation is interesting.”
