'Legacies' Creator Julie Plec Talks Upcoming Film Noir Episode at SCAD aTVfest 2020

The cast of Legacies step out for the 2020 SCAD aTVfest on Saturday (February 29) in Atlanta, Ga.

Joining the stars of the series – Danielle Rose Russell, Jenny Boyd, Quincy Fouse, Aria Shahghasemi, Kaylee Bryant, Peyton Alex Smith, and Chris Lee – were the show’s creator and EP Julie Plec, as well as executice producer Brett Matthews.

At the festival, Julie opened up about one of the show’s upcoming episodes, which is set in film noir.

“Legacies is doing its first and maybe only film noir episode, which is born out of the brilliant mind of [executive producer] Brett Matthews, who actually studied noir in film school and is a huge fan of the genre and knows it intimately,” she told EW. “We just wanted to dive into a fantasy world we hadn’t done before.”

“It was just a genre that stuck with me for a long time,” Brett added. “Actually, we had the episode broken and we didn’t know conceptually what we wanted the world to be. There were a lot of ideas on the table. There was Western, there was steampunk, there was Victorian. Film noir just became the perfect storm of producible and fit the tone of the season and that particular episode.”

The Legacies film noir episode, titled, “There’s a Place Where the Lost Things Go,” will air on March 12th on The CW!
