'Sick' Production's Design Was Inspired by 'World War Z' and 'A Quiet Place'

From SyFy : "'Sick' Production's Design Was Inspired by 'World War Z' and 'A Quiet Place'"

It's crazy to think how we're about to hit the 3-year anniversary of when the novel coronavirus completely changed our world forever. Those early months of lockdown — the fear, the uncertainty, the panicky hoarding of toilet paper — felt like humanity's number was finally up; that the fabled end of days had finally arrived on our collective doorstep, four horsemen in tow.

Most of us would probably like to have the memory of that existential dread wiped from our brains, but production designer Jenny Möller (Happily) found herself relying on it for Kevin Williamson's pandemic-inspired slasher flick, SICK (exclusively streaming on Peacock right now).

"At the time, we didn't know anything about the disease and we didn't know how it was transmitted," she explains over a Zoom call with SYFY WIRE. "We were all wearing masks and standing five feet apart and wiping absolutely everything down."
