Jasmin Schwiers celebrates her debut on “Binge Reloaded”. The actress parodied Evelyn Burdecki in the comedy show.
The comedy show “Binge Reloaded” is entering its second season with a real premiere (from January 14 on Amazon Prime). For the first time, the acting couple Jasmin Schwiers (39) and Jan van Weyde (42) can be seen together in front of the camera. While the 42-year-old already impressed in the first season with his Bill Kaulitz parody, among other things, Schwiers entered completely new territory.
“Before that, I was pretty fed up,” she reveals in an interview with the news agency spot on news, and she really raves about her husband: “I think my guy deserves an award!”
You’re the newcomer to Binge Reloaded, what roles will viewers see you in?
Jasmin Schwiers: I play Evelyn Burdecki, Lisha Savage, Starlight from “The Boys”, Detective Decker from “Lucifer” and a few other roles. A colorful mix of streaming and television.
Which parody was particularly challenging for you?
Schwiers: Parodying itself was a completely new discipline for me and a great challenge. So far I have interpreted my roles as an actress, so there is a little more leeway. With parody, there isn’t that leeway, you just try to get as close to the original as possible. I had to admit that I was really fed up before that.
How did you prepare for the roles?
Schwiers: First I watched endless research material. Then I tried to repeat original recordings and work out linguistic subtleties. This was followed by litany-like repetition combined with gestures and posture. It was a Sisyphean task! And not to forget the many mask tests at our incredible mask department. What they make possible is absolutely amazing!
What do you personally think of the dating shows like “Bachelorette” or “Love Island”, which get rid of their fat with “binge”?
Schwiers: I’m a big fan of dating shows! I love formats like “Bachelor” or “Bachelorette” or “Prince Charming” and “Princess Charming”! But there are also formats where the general level is just too primitive for me. Pumped-up guys, for whom it is important that the blonde who has been botoxed beyond recognition “optically” suits them well while they cheat on them in front of the camera, don’t pick me up after all.
What do you think is the worst entertainment show on German TV at the moment?
Schwiers: I can’t necessarily pin it down to one show. But the “reality” that the television editors of this country cast together for us is sometimes so caricatured that it can hardly be satirically exaggerated. Personally, I get off when there is too much anti-social trash because there is no longer any area of identification.
Even Netflix hits like “Bridgerton” are not spared from “Binge”. What series are you addicted to?
Schwiers: The last series I binged was “Money Heist”. How the Spaniards manage to keep the suspense curve high over so many seasons is awesome. The series “The Boys” is definitely in my top three as well. All the more funny that I was standing on the set of “Binge” in a Starlight costume myself… little fan moment!
You are in front of the camera for the first time with your husband Jan van Weyde, who was seen in the first season. Did you have reservations about working with your husband?
Difficult: Concerns? Zero! The others probably had it! One of our directors actually told me afterwards how relieved he was that Jan and I worked so relaxed together. He probably had a horror idea of a married couple on the set beforehand. But the opposite was the case. We supported each other to the maximum and had a great time!
Did he recommend you as a newcomer for season two?
Schwiers: Of course, I found out from Jani that there was a casting. But I had to audition like everyone else. He was able to give me advice, for example on the question of which characters might suit me. Without his encouragement I might not have even tried it.
Did you get tips from him?
Schwiers: I was definitely able to benefit from Jani’s wealth of experience. Still, I had to find my own way of approaching my parodies. Jani is incredibly intuitive. He hears a crazy voice and can imitate it immediately. That’s almost outrageously talented!! For me it’s more of a mixture of intuition and meticulousness. And many hours of practice…
Among other things, Jan van Weyde can be seen again as Bill Kaulitz. What is your favorite parody to see your husband in and why?
Schwiers: I admire his versatility. Joko Winterscheidt, Carsten Maschmeyer, Daniel Hartwig, Steffen Henssler, Ross Antony – he can do them all! I know as his wife and mother of his kids I may not be objective but I think my guy deserves an award!!
Do we now see you both more often in joint projects?
Difficult: Please yes!
Would you be up for a third season of “Binge” again?
Hard: Definitely! Now I’ve tasted blood…
