Colin Farrell returns as private detective John Sugar for the second season of the Apple TV series Sugar.<\/p>\n
***Spoiler Alert***<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles-set noir series sees the Irish actor reprise his role as the sharply dressed investigator, following a major reveal in season one that Sugar is an extraterrestrial living on Earth.<\/p>\n
“He’s the only one of his species that’s left on the planet, so he\u2019s feeling the burden and the weight and the sorrow of that as well,” Farrell told Reuters.<\/p>\n
“That leads into a little bit of honesty. It also leads him down some dark avenues and some euphoric avenues with regard to violence and human desire,” he added.<\/p>\n
The new season follows Sugar as he searches for Ji Moon, played by Raymond Lee, the brother of boxer Danny Moon, played by Jin Ha.<\/p>\n
The case draws him deeper into Los Angeles\u2019 criminal underworld, while also allowing the series to explore more of the city.<\/p>\n
“We do get to touch on and explore and show the kind of culturally kaleidoscopic aspect of this city,” Farrell said.<\/p>\n
“And it\u2019s one of the things that I love about it, having lived here now for nearly 25 years.”<\/p>\n
Among the new additions to the cast is Outlander actor Laura Donnelly, who plays Charlotte.<\/p>\n
Donnelly said she looked to classic screen figures while shaping the character.<\/p>\n
“I had lots of those actresses in the back of my mind, you know, kind of Lauren Bacall, Charlotte Rampling, Jessica Rabbit,” she said.<\/p>\n
“Just sitting in the back of my mind, kind of how they move, how they play, how they play with their femininity.”<\/p>\n
Farrell said the second season had improved on the first, when he was a “nervous wreck” because not all of the scripts were ready before filming began.<\/p>\n
“We hadn\u2019t got all the scripts, to be honest, in place when we started shooting. So, it was a bit of a building-the-plane mid-flight scenario,” he said.<\/p>\n
The actor said improvisation remained part of the process.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s become a part of this process that I\u2019m involved in, in the creation of what Sugar is going through, and it\u2019s just an utter joy to play in that sandbox,” he said.<\/p>\n
Sugar season two premieres globally on Apple TV on Friday.<\/p>\n
