“First of all, being adored by gay people on Twitter is all I’ve ever wanted in my life. So I’ve been enjoying myself,” Liv Hewson says playfully. We’re talking about the fan response to the hit show Yellowjackets, which had its season finale air earlier this month. The survival thriller has been a huge success and has quickly created a thriving fandom online – and Van, played by the 26-year-old Australian non-binary actor, has emerged as a favourite.
“I’ve never really been on a show before that was, like, week-to-week mystery based, so being able to watch audience theories in real time was new to me as well,” Hewson says. “I really enjoyed it. There was a lot of fun.”
