I breeze and binged the perdition out of it and was excited to link up season two as part of the Iranian cast because , one , I am of Persian parentage . That was exciting for me to pink into that finish and get to verbalize the nomenclature for most of the season , which is coolheaded because a mickle of show do n’t do that fully . translate Noor ’s plight and her journeying over the course of action of the second time of year and reading that I was given the hand was like , " This is such a dream for an actor !

Being the show that it is , good deal of covert business is go on . For Noor specifically , there are a lot of present moment where she finds herself in tight and enclose blank space where she ’s undercover , doing different sort of things . There were many scene we filmed , like the positioning of the sometime brewery . It ’s an old construction they had left intact now for filming and other purposes . It was like two stories underground and like this concrete , fusty edifice . We shot there for at least like , two week . That was definitely a challenge .
As usual , we all prevailed , and as far as any other challenge , hats off to the whole stunt squad on the show and to Gabriel because they mash all of those stunt ; see them do the choreography was such a treat because they were very exceptional about it , and very punctilious and just really gave so much attending to every little detail and all the fight scene and watching . It was just like out of this world .
