Anna Camp recently took to Instagram to reflect on her challenging yet rewarding experience playing dual roles in the final season of Netflix’s psychological thriller series “YOU.” The actress shared her thoughts alongside a behind-the-scenes image from the production.
“This was very intense and very fun @younetflix,” Camp wrote in her caption, sharing a short video from what appears to be from the set of the popular Netflix series.
In her post, Camp also expressed gratitude to her stunt double, writing “thankyou @sarahhelbringer for being the best double.” The acknowledgment highlights the technical complexity involved in portraying the twin characters, Reagan and Maddie Lockwood, in the series.
Camp’s dual role as Reagan and Maddie Lockwood in the fifth and final season of “YOU” presented unique acting challenges. The technical complexity of such performances typically requires precise blocking, multiple takes, and the use of stand-ins or doubles, such as Sarah Helbringer, to achieve scenes where both characters appear together. This filmmaking technique has been used in numerous productions but remains one of the more challenging aspects of both acting and production.
This role in “YOU” is just one of several high-profile projects Camp has been involved with recently. The actress has been particularly busy promoting multiple releases, including the action comedy film “Bride Hard” co-starring Rebel Wilson, which is set to hit theaters on June 20th.
The final season of “YOU,” starring Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg, premiered on Netflix in April. Camp’s character introduction as Reagan Lockwood was teased in earlier promotional materials, where she described her character as someone who’s “coming for everything.”
As shown in Camp’s social media activity, the season premiere was celebrated with a special event where she expressed excitement about fans finally seeing her work in the series. “Hope u like what we did,” she wrote in a separate post featuring images from the premiere.
