The Fear Street Trilogy, based on the beloved book series by R.L. Stine, is releasing on Netflix throughout the month. The slasher story centers on a group of friends encountering an evil responsible for murders that took place over 300 years ago. The three films will traverse time, going from 1994 to 1978 and finally taking viewers all the way back to 1666.
Cast members Gillian Jacobs, Ashly Zukerman and Darrell Britt Gibson spoke to Screen Rant about who their characters are in 1994 and how they’re connected to the legend of Sarah Fier.
Gillian, we explore Nick and Ziggy's relationship in Fear Street 1978. But how has their relationship evolved in 1994?
Gillian Jacobs: Well, I think it has been a long time since they have seen each other in person. But my feeling is that they've both spent a lot of time thinking about the other person.
Ashley and I only had a few brief moments together on screen, but you have to bring to it many years of history and two people who have been apart but probably spent a lot of their time thinking about the other person.
Ash, I love the way that your character is written because it throws you off all the time. Can you talk to me a little bit about the Goode family, and their reputation in Sunnyvale and Shadyside?
Ashley Zukerman: Yeah. Without giving anything away, he is absolutely the pointy end of Sunnyvale. He's benefited from everything Sunnyvale has had to offer. There's a question about whether he's gonna come to terms with that or not, or actually engage with that or not. And actually ever question how his past has led him to where he is now, or whether he's just going to keep going.
Darrell, I actually feel like I related to your character the most. Talk to me about Martin and his relationship with Sheriff Goode. How does Martin feel about the legend of Sarah Fier?
Darrell Britt Gibson: Wow. His relationship with Sheriff Goode is a bit of a rocky one. There's clearly some history there, but that's a longer dialogue. It is part of what we talked about, where I feel like Martin is a black dude in a small town. And there's a sheriff that doesn't like him, maybe just because he is black. It's not a stretch or a reach to say something like that.
I think Martin is sort of a reflection of how the audience sees the film, because he has no idea what's going on. I just think that it sort of starts off like maybe it's a bit of a joke to him. And then it's like, "Oh, this is real." Without giving too much away, I think that Martin is very much experiencing some of the things for the first time that other characters have had a history of dealing with. So, everything feels kind of new to him.
Fear Street Part One: 1994 and Fear Street Part Two: 1978 are now streaming on Netflix.
