The Guardian have published a short interview with Australian actress Dichen Lachman, whose sci-fi credentials include Dollhouse, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, The 100 and most recently, Apple's widely acclaimed Severance.

Fair warning - the interview is a little bit spoilerish for Severance.

Their title is intriguing:

Severance’s Dichen Lachman on leaving Australian film and TV: ‘I didn’t see myself in that space’

Why not?

We'll be a little bit spoilerish.

“At that time in Australia, we were only filming Home and Away and maybe a couple of other ABC [period dramas], and” – she gestures to her face – “I didn’t see myself in that space.”

Ah. Right.

Her career has not suffered for leaving Australia but it is interesting to hear her say this now at a time when we're seeing more television and film content - including sci-fi - being shot here.

Season one of Severance is streaming now on Apple and it has been renewed for a second.

Interestingly we see that she also has a role in coming to cinemas on June 9, Jurassic World: Dominion.
