“It’s farewell from us as we go home to be quarantined, but we’re coming home to the states. At least I’m coming home to the states because we want to get in before the quarantine. Stay safe out there, self-quarantine. It seems really crazy, actually, this whole corona thing, but do the right thing by you and your family and stay safe. In a few weeks, we’ll beat this bad boy,” Bloom said in his Instagram Stories. At the time of this writing, Bloom posted the video 12 hours ago, so you still have some time to watch here.
The news broke last summer that Carnival Row had been renewed for a second season. In addition to Bloom, the series also stars Cara Delevingne. The show is set in a Victorian fantasy world inhabited by mythological immigrant creatures that are feared by humans. In the midst of this, a human detective and a faerie rekindle a dangerous affair just as the city’s fragile peace falls apart amidst a series of murders that reveal a monster no one knew about.
