Will Forte & D’Arcy Carden 'WE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE OZ!'

THE AMERICAN ACTORS TALK ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE FILMING NEW DARK COMEDY SUNNY NIGHTS DOWN UNDER

- Olivia Harrowell

Dark comedy Sunny Nights brought Will Forte, 55, and D'Arcy Carden, 45, to Australia - and they left with far more than a few good stories.

The new series follows their characters, a brother-sister duo who move to Australia to start a spray tan company. Their dream becomes a lot more complicated, however, when they accidentally embroil themselves in Sydney's underworld.

From NRL games and surprise huntsman spider encounters, to falling in love with the people and culture, the pair gush to WHO about their time filming Down Under.

The show balances drama and comedy really well - is that a fun space for you both as actors to navigate?

D'ARCY CARDEN I think so. I think it's maybe my favourite. It's fun to mix up what you know in any way - full drama, broad comedy. As an actor who loves to do comedy, it's also really fun to dip into this more grounded, serious world. And so we got to really play in both worlds in a way that I find very satisfying.
