The Purgatorians Cast Interviews | Part 3 | Initial Response After Reading the Synopsis

The question in this interview is 'What was your initial response after reading the synopsis for the show?'

In these interviews you will hear the cast talk of the story, themes, characters and what will keep you coming back to watch. Please be aware that I told the cast to be honest and their roles where safe regardless.

These are the original 2015 cast interviews. I am hoping to bring the 2024 interviews after these ones. This is part 6 of the Interview series

The Purgatorians is an audio drama in which no one is safe, no matter age or gender. Think Game of Thrones meets Wayward Pines.

The setting is Serenetia, (Ser-ren-ee-she-a) a strange land in which no-one travels to, they just appear. No-one knows how or why they are there, they just are. They give up looking for home when all seems hopeless and exist there. With a corrupt government, a sadistic council of five and the Purgatorians to deal with, not one month can pass by quietly., this is without the deadly sandstorms that wipe out all but two people, and the Purgatorians, in Serenity every fifteen years. Ten years after the last sandstorm the hero of prophecy arrives. The prophecy tells of the demise of the council and its members and the downfall of 'The Liberator', the leader of the Purgatorians but it speaks not of the Asylum itself.

With twists galore and containing some scenes people may find upsetting or offensive.

This is not a fantasy show, it is centered around real life but in a not so real place. It contains some hard hitting storylines, dramatic and sad. I am hoping the show can run for a while, 5 seasons of 27 episodes each. Also 5 feature length Christmas specials and anthology episodes that will give too much away right now if I tell you what they are about.

Buckle up. You're in for a bumpy, emotional ride.
