“In season one they discover they are siblings, and in season two they try to be siblings”: Tomohisa Yamashita, Fleur Geffrier, Sébastien Pradal and Klaus Zimmermann on Drops of God season two
There’s something quietly radical about Apple TV+ series Drops of God. In a crowded TV landscape often defined by speed and overstimulation, the show unfolds slowly and deliberately, beautifully shot and meticulously composed. Watching it feels akin to drinking wine itself: attentive, sensory and refined, where meaning lies in detail rather than excess. Picking up three years after season one, the drama finds Camille and Issei facing their most demanding challenge yet: uncovering the origin of the world’s greatest wine, while navigating the far more delicate task of learning how to exist as siblings after the discovery of their shared father.
That emotional complexity sits at the heart of season two. As Fleur Geffrier explained, “In season one they discover they are siblings, and in season two they try to be siblings – and that’s not easy.” Camille, she noted, often pushes for closeness, at times “forcing that love to exist”, while Issei struggles to meet her halfway. Tomohisa Yamashita described his character as becoming “selfish and quite childish”, shaped by unresolved pain and the shock of uncovering a long-buried family secret. “Deep down, he knows the family bond matters,” Yamashita said, but emotionally he finds himself “in a very difficult place”, leaving the relationship strained.
Both actors spoke warmly about working across languages, cultures and continents, with Geffrier reflecting on the joy of discovering places she might never otherwise have visited, and Yamashita describing how stepping outside Japan initially felt disorienting before becoming unexpectedly healing. Beyond language and cultural difference, he noted, what ultimately connected everyone was “the same passion to create something together”.
Camille and Issei, writer Sébastien Pradal told us, are deliberately written as opposites – one guided by intuition, the other by discipline – before being drawn together by the lingering shadow of their late father, Alexandre Léger. He described season two as unfolding “like a thriller”, despite its quiet, restrained tone, noting that “even a wine tasting can feel tense”. He spoke about wine as a way for characters to confront themselves, explaining that when they taste it, “it’s like life itself is revealed to them”. Producer Klaus Zimmermann added that wine is both a human and natural creation, something that can “tie families together” or “untie families”, revealing “hidden parts” of people they may not want to see. Both stressed that viewers don’t need any prior knowledge of wine to connect with the series; though they may find themselves paying closer attention to it next time they sip a glass.
