Opening up about the upcoming season, Christian added that there are "so many moments of sadness and grief," in series six."I don't know how many times I had to cry behind my monitors because it's so incredibly intense to recreate these moments," he said. "Not only to recreate them, but to create our truth, which is hopefully as truthful as you can get in fiction.
"The show might be big and noisy, but we're not. We're thoughtful people and we're sensitive people," she said. "And so there was a very, very careful, long, long, long conversation about how we do it – and I hope, you know, the audience will judge it in the end, but I think it's been delicately, thoughtfully recreated."
