The Nevers: new Collider interview with Tom Riley and James Norton  

Would you say that Hugo and Augie are genuinely friends, or is there just no one else for them to be friends with?

RILEY: Both. I think they are genuinely good friends while, at the same time, not having the richest pickings to go to for other friends. They come from the same class, the same background, the same school. They understand the world that they both move in and inhabit, but they’re just very, very different people. I believe that they love each other.

NORTON: They compliment each other, as well. As I get older, I realize that really great relationships, whether it be romantic or friendship, are often based on difference and what you learn from the other person. I think Augie and Hugo represent one another’s shadows. They bring each other out of their comfort zones and they challenge each other. As a result, they both find each other intriguing. That’s the basis of great relationships. So, I think there is a real love there and a genuine affection and a protectiveness, particularly from Hugo to Augie.
