So lets step back here for a second.
Why is this coming out now when the show is just a week away?
This information about Stenberg playing two characters is not hidden in the show.
In fact, its revealed in basically the second scene.
Its less a mystery and more the actual plot of the entire show.
Months ago, Headland was calling the show Frozen meets Kill Bill so it was right there all along.
Two sisters and revenge.
Of course, theres more to ita lot morebut well see that unfold onDisney+starting next week.
