Kit Harington & Yara Shahidi Pose For The Hollywood Reporter

Kit Harington and Yara Shahidi caught up with The Hollywood Reporter while out promoting their new series, Extrapolations. The duo was joined by some of their costars, including Gemma Chan, Sienna Miller, Eiza González, and Ben Harper for the sit down. Highlights from their interview are below.

Kit on his character Alpha CEO, Nicholas Bilton: “He’s obviously shaped around a few different people in our consciousness right now. You could pick any one of those kinds of tech billionaires and decide that’s who he’s based on. But really, he’s his own invention. It’s this idea of someone who is ultra-capitalist and very motivated by the free market and believes that they can save the world through capitalism and all of the issues that come with it.”

Yara on the big question the series asks: “I think that this series asks a question in a really helpful way, which is, As much as you may think of it as an extreme imagining of the future, is it really all that extreme? Is it really all that unrealistic?”
