“Right before quarantine we were about to start our first day, and then we got locked down,” he explains, “But the camera tests were sick, the fittings were sick, the table reads have been amazing. The scripts are so great and everyone is really excited for it.” Enticing to say the least.
In 2019, the actor received critical acclaim for both of his breakout roles in Waves and Luce. These roles landed him nominations for BAFTA’s Rising Star and Independent Spirit’s Best Lead Male. The 25-year-old says “The scripts are so great and everyone is really excited for it. [Sam Levinson is] a great writer and a brilliant storyteller, and the aesthetic and world-building they do in that show are so unique and he really pushes boundaries, as well. So I’m excited to step into that space and do my part.” Anyone else feeling goosebumps?
The show stars Zendaya and Hunter Schafer following the stories of a group of high school students’ experiences on a slew of subjects including love, identity, and trauma. A perfect elixir for an unpredictable, captivating ride.
Oh, and one last bit of information from Harrison to keep you on the edge of your seat: “I’ve never seen a character like this, period.”
