“I would rather work here, by far, than Los Angeles,” Alexandra Breckenridge said in an interview alongside actor Martin Henderson.

“I love it up here. The fresh air is amazing,” she said laughing as the pair answered questions from Daily Hive.

The stars say fans can expect some twists and turns in this upcoming season.
