Season two of Hulu’s hit show PEN15 is officially back and we aren’t lying when we say that we’ve been loving every new episode so far.
The show follows two middle school girls and explores the awkwardness of being a teenager and the difficulties they face in their ever changing, peer driven world.
We recently had the chance to chat with actress Marion Van Cuyuk who plays Terra Newback, where she opened up about what it has been like coming back for a second season.
“I love working with the cast and crew. Coming back each season has been amazing. I missed everyone from season 1 and made new friends in season 2,” Marion tells us.
Check out the full Q&A with Marion below and don’t forget to let us know what you think of PEN15 by leaving a reaction at the bottom of the post or by sending us a tweet at @celebsecrets.
You can connect with Marion by giving her a follow on Instagram at @officialmarionvancuyck.
