THE GLOAMING - EMMA BOOTH INTERVIEW

The Gloaming is a suspenseful new supernatural detective series starring Aussie actors Ewen Leslie (Top of the Lake, The Mule) and Emma Booth (Once Upon a Time.) which hits the small screen this weekend.

When a woman is found brutally killed, the clues surrounding her death connect to murders both past and present. Political corruption and shady business dealings are soon entwined with sinister crimes and occult practices. At the center of this web are two detectives who share a tragic past. In a harrowing journey to find the truth, their fate is coerced by the ghosts of the unsettled dead that linger in the liminal space between life and death - known as “The Gloaming.”

The thrilling new series was shot entirely on location in Tasmania. At the center of this web are two detectives, Molly McGee (played by Emma Booth, Once Upon a Time) and Alex O’Connell (played by Ewen Leslie, Top of the Lake) who share a tragic past.

Ewen Leslie is an Australian stage, film and television actor. He won a Sydney Theatre Award for his performance opposite Cate Blanchett in The War of the Roses. His first big break in film came as the lead in Jewboy. His numerous other film roles include Three Blind Mice, Dead Europe, Sleeping Beaty, The Mule, and The Nightingale. On television, his notable roles include Operation Buffalo, The Luminaries, Fighting Season, and Top of the Lake. Leslie also voices the character of Pigling Bland in the Peter Rabbit movies.

Emma Booth is an actress and model from Perth, Western Australia. She is best known for her roles in Clubland, Blood Creek, and The Hounds of Love. She joined the ABC hit series Once Upon A Time in season seven for a recurring role as the main antagonist, Mother Gothel, also known as Mother Nature, a powerful witch who is the leader of the Coven of the Eight.

I spoke with the lovely and talented Emma Booth about taking on the starring role and her own supernatural experiences!
