Zoe Saldana – Calls New Series A ‘Dream’

But even after receiving the pilot script, Zoe Saldana hesitated. She recalled how Sheridan sent it to her amid the pandemic. And Zoe admitted, “The thought of me committing to a multi-seasonal show was just daunting.” However, despite worrying about whether she could succeed, the combination of Nicole Kidman and Taylor Sheridan tempted her.

And Saldana recalled considering the fact that both Sheridan and Kidman had made commitments. “It was Taylor Sheridan. Nicole Kidman was already attached to produce, and she was going to play a part in it as well. So obviously, that was a dream for me,” Zoe confessed.
