Andrew Gower is the cover star at Viewties Magazine and talked to Vanesa Mirglia about balancing two careers at once and his current acting projects YOU (Netflix), Carnival Row and The Winter King.
Check out the interview below which also features some gorgeous new photos by photographer David Reiss.
Karen Butler (UPI) spoke to Andrew Gower about Season 2 of Carnival Row and what he loves about the fantasy noir series.
The great thing about this series is it may tap into whatever is going on in the world. It may tap into how people are feeling, the fear of the other, whatever the other is. But, ultimately, it is in a digestible, entertaining way, which is what I love about fantasy.

Season 2’s artist palette has definitely added a load more colors in there, maybe some darker colors, which is always fun to explore,”
“We definitely get to see more of the history of these characters and a lot of Season 1 is explained.”

Carnival Row 2×02 New Dawn
Imogen (Tamzin Merchant) and Agreus (David Gyasi) are taken to a city named Ragusa which was formerly under Pact authoritiy and at war with The Burgue. Now it is under the control of New Dawn, a socialist and revolutionary movement slowly taking over Pact territories. The two lovers are forcefully separated: Imogen is brought to a house, where she meets Leonora (Joanne Whalley), a faun with a broken, while Agreus finds himself in front of a firing squad executing his crew.
The Pact are now seeking military help against New Dawn, which are not only a thread to The Pact but the Burghish society as well. Chancellor Jonah Breakspear (Arty Froushan) under Sophie Longerbane’s (Caroline Ford) influence pledges support and throws a lavish dinner party for the Pact’s delegates with Ezra Spurnrose (Andrew Gower) attending the festivities. Ezra is met with concerned questions about his sister which he deflects by claiming she was abducted by pucks and the police are looking for her.
Philo (Orlando Bloom) hopes to destroy the Chancellor’s reputation and end the lockdown on Carnival Row by revealing himself as Absalom Breakspear’s (Jared Harris) true (and half-fae) oldest son. With the help of Runyan Millworthy (Simon McBurney) he is smuggled into the great hall where the banquet is about to start. However, he is interrupted by a group of Black Raven crushing through the glass ceiling of the great hall. Vignette (Cara Delevingne) has developed her own plan to confront the Burgue’s elite with her people’s suffering.
