Well, some of the Netflix actors have already approached the cast. “It is very sad to see that the fans were upset with the cast,” Elisha told Digital Spy. “I was not involved in the cast, but I hope that what they saw and how I portrayed Musa was to his liking.”
Eliot said he expects to see Flora in Season 2, saying, “I think it’s very important that we see [Terra and Flora together] and if we’re lucky enough to get a second season, that’s my biggest hope. “
Precious Mustapha, also known as Aisha, also added: “It’s great to be in a series where there is a lot of diversity. There can be more and, hopefully, if we get a second season, there will be a lot of that.”
