Tom, I am a huge "Umbrella Academy" fan. Season 3 left us on a huge cliffhanger. What was it like filming those episodes?
Hopper: Season 3 was a lot of fun. It's been my favorite season so far to shoot and to view. It's exciting to see where it might go from now. It's kind of up in the air.
Luther's character changed and evolved so much in this season. That was exciting to see.
Hopper: [That] was fun for me to play as an actor, from where he's come from to where he is now. It's been a gift for me, actually. I've had a lot of fun doing it.
What's next for you both?
Hopper: Well, a few things. I've been producing a lot this last year. I've got a couple of movies that we're doing in the coming months. I'm negotiating about a movie at the moment that I'm doing with Emma Roberts, which I'm shooting in September. I might be doing a Western as well, which looks pretty good. Then we should be seeing about Season 4 of "Umbrella Academy." We don't know yet. [Netflix has since renewed the series for a final season.]
Graham: This is my fourth film of the year. I just dropped my second album of the year. To be honest, I need a minute. I'm going to take a little break. I'm going to get married.
I did just wrap production on a refugee documentary that I'm producing and hosting with Time Studios. That's coming out next year. [I'm] also producing and seeing what's next — trying to grow and not plan everything. [That's a] lesson I've learned. I'm excited to see what life is like when I stop planning it a bit and take the lesson from this movie to heart and actually not be like, "I'm going to do a movie and I'm going to do this and I'm going to do that." I think I've earned that at this point.
Is there anything else you want people to know about "Love in the Villa"?
Graham: It's as magical as it seems. Everything that you guys feel while watching it — it's not fake. It's something that is such a real experience.
Hopper: People should go and visit Verona and feel it for themselves. They really should. Like Kat says, that's absolutely true. All those feelings — it's all there.
"Love in the Villa" hits Netflix on September 1, 2022.
