Arielle Kebbel & Peter Mensah talk newlywed life, hipsters, and a new war

By  | 

We’re continuing to celebrate premiere week with the next in our series of interviews from Comic Con with the cast and (new) creative team behind Midnight, Texas. Today we’re chatting with Arielle Kebbel & Peter Mensah, aka Olivia and Lemuel, Midnight’s resident newlyweds.

Highlights

  • Season 1 was about introducing the characters and universe, season 2 is about expanding on the characters and their relationships.
  • We learn more about Olivia’s family, the trauma she’s been through, and the healing she receives.
  • Olivia is skeptical about Midnight’s new residents.
  • “Spas naturally lead to wars, right? Or maybe it’s hipsters.”
  • Newlywed life requires some fun, creative solutions.

Midnight, Texas season 2 premieres Friday, October 26 at 9/8c on NBC.

I'm a looooong time fan of Charlaine Harris and her novels. In 2008, I launched the first and (what became) largest True Blood fansite at True-Blood.net. When I heard that Midnight, Texas was in development back in January 2016, I immediately started planning a new fansite and eagerly awaited the show's premiere. Welcome!
