The casting was very long. We didn’t write for any particular actors and so we have been looking for this couple for a long time. We knew we needed two different colors, two different personalities. That the male character would be very feminine and that the female character would have something strong, brave. …We hesitated for a long time, and finally, at one time we met Evelyne Brochu and she quickly made her mark. Because she is bilingual and has done many series. We also realized during the production that she had a real fan club because of Orphan Black and that she had a real reputation in the field of series. I thought it was nice to have a key figure in an English-speaking series to play the heroine of my first series.
