Season 3 of drama series Coroner (2019-now) has dropped even more creepiness on our screens, Mondays on Universal TV (*117) at 20:00, with its ultra-realistic sets and macabre corpses as Toronto-based coroner Jenny Cooper (Serinda Swan, Chloe in sport dramedy Ballers, 2015-2019) investigates the murders. So it’s time to do a little investigating of our own as Serinda and executive producers Morwyn Brebner and Adrienne Mitchell reveal more about the show’s prop bodies…
LIVING WITH DEATH
How do you deal with the visual horror of the prop bodies?
Adrienne: We are in the world of make-believe, but what does start to feel normal, which is strange, is gross things. The autopsies and the mystery of the body and how Morwyn and the team come up with all sorts of terribly grotesque aspects of how the body is a clue to the murder, whether it’s strange things embedded in organs or whatever. We’ve become desensitised to gore.
