Britt Lower, the Emmy-winning actress, has opened up about the close friendship she formed with her co-star Erin Richards while filming the new Netflix series “I Will Find You.” The bond between the two actresses, who play sisters in the series, grew so strong that they even shared a holiday together during production.
Lower, who takes on the role of Rachel, found that her chemistry with Richards, who plays Cheryl, was pivotal in bringing authenticity to their on-screen relationship. “I felt really kindred with Erin. We had a great time bonding,” she shared in an interview with PEOPLE. The series, which is an adaptation of Harlan Coben’s recent novel, presents a gripping narrative revolving around family ties and the emotional depths of loyalty.
Set against the backdrop of a suspenseful plot, Rachel and her sister Cheryl navigate a series of challenges while trying to track down David’s son. David, portrayed by actor Sam Worthington, is wrongly accused of murder and believes his son Matthew may still be alive. As the story unfolds, family dynamics play a critical role, highlighting the significance of Rachel’s commitment to her sister.
Lower explained that despite not having a sister in real life, she has always yearned for that familial connection. “I don’t have a sister in my real life, but I’ve always wanted one and I felt really kindred with Erin,” she remarked, emphasising the natural chemistry that they developed during the five months of filming in Toronto.
The two actresses took their camaraderie beyond just the set. Lower revealed that their families became acquainted, sharing quality time together outside of their work commitments. “We spent an Easter Sunday together,” she explained. “So it was really kind of sweet, pretending we were sisters for the whole time.”
The portrayal of their sisterly bond was especially important to Lower because it is central to Rachel’s motivations throughout the series. She noted, “It’s really at the core of Rachel’s drive. The whole series is her love for her sister, her loyalty to her family.” This emotional depth adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, with Rachel’s connection to David also revealing an unspoken kinship.
As they navigate the challenges posed by the storyline, Lower identified a moment where Rachel’s instinct comes into play—she refrains from showing a photograph of Matthew to Cheryl first, recognising her sister’s recent happiness and impending motherhood. This reveals Rachel’s sensitivity towards her sister’s new life and strengthens the narrative’s emotional stakes.
With a nod to the source material, Lower praised Harlan Coben’s insightful writing. “You not only have his book, the resource of him and where these ideas came from in the first place, but you also have the generosity of Harlan Coben,” she said. Lower appreciated the collaborative process that allowed them to delve deeper into their characters, facilitating a rich exploration of their roles.
“I Will Find You” has received attention for its compelling storyline and the dynamic relationships between its characters. Lower commented on the experience of stepping into the world crafted by Coben, stating how exhilarating it was to transform the characters from text to visual representation.
Now available for streaming on Netflix, “I Will Find You” promises to engage audiences with its blend of suspense, familial love, and intricate character dynamics, all bolstered by the authentic connection between its lead actresses. With Lower and Richards at the forefront, viewers can expect an emotional journey that echoes the complexities of real-life relationships.
