Nicola also chatted about her and Luke’s season 3 sex scenes, saying watching them back was honestly kinda perfect. As she put it, “It’s crazy because I felt like those scenes would be terrifying to watch back, and they were initially. But then when I watched them, I went, ‘No, they’re everything we wanted them to be and more.’ They’re really romantic. They’re beautifully written. They feel sexy, they’re exciting. I couldn’t be happier, honestly.”
Meanwhile, Luke told the outlet, “It’s really hard to tell if it’s, like, as steamy as everyone says it is because when you live through the process of it, it’s like, well, yeah it is really, like, it’s a sexy season.” He also went ahead and revealed that his mom was at the premiere and even joked, “That will be fun. That will be a good conversation.”
