‘True Detective: Night Country’ Star Kali Reis On Navarro’s Finale Walkabout: “She Goes To A Place Where She Can Be Herself Without Responsibilities”

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT: This story contains plot points from the finale of True Detective: Night Country. HBO’s crime anthology finished its fourth season Sunday with Detectives Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) enjoying a rare moment of peace after solving the mysterious deaths of eight scientists from the Tsalal Arctic Research Station in Alaska.

Here, Reis — a relative newcomer who scored this role of the lifetime after making her acting debut in the 2021 film Catch the Fair One — talks about her character’s final hours, what it was like working with showrunner-Executive Producer Issa López, and why she decided to continue rocking her pierced cheeks to play Navarro. DEADLINE So in the end, did Navarro beat her demons by indulging her desire to walk out of the country and never come back? KALI REIS I don’t think there was any beating of Navarro’s demons.

I think it was more or less walking with them. Once she gives in and really stops trying to fight what she’s been running from the entire time, it gives her peace.

So I think she walks with ’em. DEADLINE What is the primary source of her demons? REIS It’s not knowing what happened to her mom, not knowing who killed her, along with watching her mom running out after having so many different issues.
