FAKE IT OR MAKE IT

Martin was shocked while filming season 1 when he met real cops who investigate corruption in the police force and it hasn’t gotten easier as the seasons have progressed. “This season’s background information was very scary when we were told that the cops who were involved in real life with this kind of storyarc ended up being murdered by the people lining their pockets. I wasn’t scared of receiving death threats (for portraying this kind of thing) because we’re entirely fictional – AC-12 doesn’t actually exist – but to know that people have lost their lives for being involved in messy police situations is disturbing.” And it’s going to be more intense for the upcoming season 7. “I can’t tell you what the main arc is because the writers haven’t finalised it yet – but they’ve told me that it’s terrifyingly real and very current in the pandemic world. I think viewers will be surprised!”
