The Christmas carp might have gotten away the palace, however Agnes was not so fortunate. On the penultimate episode of The Regime, “All Ye Faithful,” Andrea Riseborough‘s unfaltering right-hand female satisfied her unfortunate death, shot to death in the palace throughout a violet uprising. Riseborough came by the Still Watching podcast to talk about Agnes’s unceremonious end in episode 5 and workshopping Agnes’s backstory with costar Kate Winslet.
“Poor Agnes,” stated Riseborough on the podcast. “It’s so awful, the faceless fallout of war.” Riseborough had a basic description regarding why Agnes stayed Chancellor Elena’s corrupt routine as long as she did, in spite of existing with several chances to run away the nation: “I believe Agnes most likely would not have actually continued to be complicit working in the palace had her child [Oskar] not been unexpectedly discovered in terrific favor by Elena,” stated Riseborough. “That simply made complex Agnes’s entire circumstance to the point where she discovered herself co-parenting with a totalitarian, which is attempting at the very best of times. She’s caught, basically.”
The To Leslie star dove much deeper into the complex relationship in between Agnes and Chancellor Elena, exposing that she and Winslet started discussing their dynamic while shooting their movie Lee— before even showing up to The Regime set. “Kate and I talked about the concept that maybe Elena had, since of her own insecurities, asked for Agnes to keep her hair short,” Riseborough shared. “As our own personal backstory, [Elena] removed her of what was possibly a previous identity.” Like any great star, Riseborough likewise developed a backstory to describe Agnes’s life before the palace. There was a concept that maybe Agnes had actually run the palace before Chancellor Elena came to power, however Riseborough had another concept in mind.
“I recommended to Will [Tracy] that possibly Agnes must be working class,” she stated.”[Agnes] must represent in some method the proletariat– individuals outside whose choices are being produced them by some extremely detached individuals within this dreadful program.”
Has Chancellor Elena’s routine formally fallen? Will both Elena and Zubak endure the coup? And what will occur to Agnes’s kid, Oskar? We’re simply one episode far from discovering who will end up on top of The Regime.
