But for the show’s breakout star, Owen Cooper, he actually found it a breeze compared to his next project.
Asked whether having gone through the process of shooting Adolescence had made Wuthering Heights “easy to you”, Owen admitted: “No, I hated filming Wuthering Heights. To be fair, I got used to it after a bit.
“In Adolescence, we’d do one take and then you’re done. But in Wuthering Heights, you’re crying your eyes out, smashing stuff off the wall – oh, sorry, spoiler… – and then Emerald goes, ‘can we do it again?’. And I’m like, ‘no…’. I’ve just, like, melted my heart out in a scene, and she’s making me do it again… but it is what it it is, isn’t it?”
Fortunately, it doesn’t sound like Owen had too bad a time on set.
Earlier this year, he told Variety about how much he’d “really enjoyed” being on set, claiming: “It’s been amazing. Emerald’s lovely.”
