Aidan Laprete & Zack Calderon Interview: The Wilds Season 2
The Wilds season 2 is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, and the twists are more shocking than ever. The cast has doubled in size, which means the trials and tribulations have doubled as well. The first season of this thrilling series focused on a group of girls whose plane crashed in the wilderness, but the second season introduced a second set of teens to make matters even more complicated.
The Wilds revealed early on in season 1 that the crash and its aftermath had been orchestrated by a calculated and terrifying social scientist named Gretchen Klein (Rachel Griffiths, Saving Mr. Banks), as an experiment to prove that women could create a better society that men. This season, audiences get to compare the two groups and verify her hypothesis for themselves.

Aidan Laprete and Zack Calderon, who play Henry and Raf respectively, spoke to Screen Rant about their own feelings about the show, the biggest challenges in filming it, and how they viewed their characters' relationship to each other and the group.
Screen Rant: Aidan, had you already watched The Wilds, either before auditioning or in order to prepare to play Henry?
Aidan Laprete: Yeah, I actually did watch The Wilds, because I auditioned in January of 2021. I think Zack and a few other boys auditioned before the show came out, but I had the opportunity to watch it after I auditioned.
It's such a great show. I mean, they do such a great job of just giving real [drama], even though the environment and the experiment is so bizarre and crazy. I mean, the girls do such a great job at portraying real and accurate portrayals of teenagers and the struggles that they go through.
Zack, what would you say
