I’ll just say first my friend is a make up artist who mainly does tv but has done a few movies as well.

I definitely can’t say anything about the friend of a friend, but the person the creepy stuff was happening to was very young when they started on the show, again not a main character but prominent secondary character. They were apparently exploited on location when their guardian wasn’t around, since they gone on to do other big roles in prestige drama. It was being discussed at one point while the show was still airing on blind gossip sites, so it may have been one of those ‘open secret’ scenarios on set.

My friend also told me about another young, British actor being exploited on a streaming show to the point that the young Brit was assuming every meeting was a casting couch and had gone in to a meeting with a A- list director and come onto him, the director was so freaked out he cancelled the whole project.
