Here we have an interview, where (instead of the sexual content) the makers concentrate on the really nice costumes of ‘Little Birds (Series)’:
The incredible fashion is just one of the many highlights of the much-anticipated Sky Atlantic show, but the actress who plays the lead role Lucy Savage has revealed she had to suffer for her art. Juno Temple’s character Lucy finds herself on a journey of self discovery after moving from New York to Tangier, and it’s not just her attitude and tastes that change – so does her wardrobe. Speaking about the wonderful costumes, many of which were replicas copied from original pieces of the time, Juno said:
“In one scene I am in an original piece that had not been altered and if I slouched, I got stabbed by a piece of boning, but I do think that was actually great to my character. (…) I had a lot of fun with the costumes because I’m not gonna lie, a lot of them were not very comfortable.
The subtlety of the changing costumes were an integral part of Lucy’s transformation, with Juno revealing that “as the show progresses, Lucy starts to wear slighting bigger hoop earrings. I think little details like that just felt like a little bit of freedom so that when she sees her dad later in the show she can turn around and be like I don’t know you.”

Plus a small snippet from an interview with Hugh Skinner, who plays Hugo, Juno’s on-screen husband in the series:
Hugh added: “And also, I was lucky enough to see Juno Temple’s scene where she shoots that erotic film… She was so fucking liberating, and just went there. It was weirdly amazing to watch. It was really exciting. I was just like, “Wow, she’s just brilliant. She got so into the character, and didn’t give a fuck, and just went for it.” It was really inspiring.”
In this longer interview, Juno talks about Lucy, the character she plays in ‘Little Birds (Series)’, about the series and about the sexual themes in it (parts of it has been published before, but not all of it):

A small excerpt from a bigger interview, where Juno tells us how she got cast as Lucy, the main character in ‘Little Birds (the series)’ + a new promo image:

“I auditioned for it about two years before we shot, actually. I did a self tape and gave it my all. I had to do one of the scenes, a scene where I’ve just gotten a gold dress (…) and I come out and I’m like, ‘Oh goodness I’m not sure I can wear this because it’s see-through’. I actually have this great vintage 1970’s see-through gown that I put on in the tape, thinking I’d be forward thinking, risque or whatever. It worked well, I guess!”
‘The other two scenes were no longer in the script when I actually did a second screen test (…). Lucy changed a lot actually. She developed, I thought, into a slightly more, grown up version of what was initially there on the page. So one of scenes I had to audition for was a screaming fight with Hugo at a country club in Tangier, while we were playing tennis. It was fun to audition for it but I was happy it didn’t actually end up in the final scripts.”
“But I got to test with Stacie (Passon, the director), she flew out to LA and workshopped three different scenes with me. She told me she really wanted me, and she wanted to convince Sky that I could play Lucy and carry the audience into this beautiful world of extraordinary misfits through her eyes, so that was pretty cool.”
“They wanted Lucy cast first, and then I had a scheduling conflict, so they actually pushed for a little bit, which is amazing. I have not had that happen. It happens very rarely. It ended up being all in all about two years from the first audition to actually being on set and breathing life into her.”
