It wasn’t fully clean crusing in Eire, nevertheless. Filming hit a short lived snag in late June 2026 when newcomer Eva Inexperienced suffered a “actually nasty” leg damage on set, leading to her being transported to a neighborhood hospital for therapy.

Numerous casting calls from Celtic Casting have been issued in early 2026, in search of a myriad of extras and doubles for the season.

Followers and paparazzi caught Jenna Ortega, Fred Armisen, and Tim Burton (plus later Emma Myers too) filming an intense sequence proper alongside the cobblestone streets subsequent to the River Seine.
