'The Magicians' season 4: Summer Bishil teases some major confrontations in new season
If you're a fan of SyFy's 'The Magicians', there's one character that you absolutely cannot ignore - Margo Hanson. Not afraid to speak her mind, the High King of Fillory is as competitive as they come. However, there's more to Margo than meets the eye. While you might think she's just a regular meanie without a cause, she is perhaps one of the most practical, smartest and skilled characters on the show.
"Margo’s story-line truly took me by surprise," says actress Summer Bishil, who has been playing this character for the last three seasons of the successful show.
"I never in a million years would have seen it coming. It’s been a challenge and liberating to play someone like her. It’s just juicy and fun a lot of the times. I am also fiercely protective of her heart, I’ve always wanted to show her heart. Without that her humor and swagger would be hollow so it’s a fine balance," she says.
She also believes that the inherently comedic way her character has been written, it was a challenge to pull off her tone. "It has been challenging playing the tone. The tone of our show is so unique, I think," she adds. And she's absolutely right. Without Margo, how would the show ever keep things unpredictable?
