He said that things are not so easy for Philo concerning his place in the world. It’s not just about accepting his Fae identity. Because he is not truly fae in the Fae society. Instead, he is a half-blood. This means he is a man without a country at the moment. He further mentioned, ” You know, he’s not human enough for the humans, but he’s not fae enough for the Fae. He kind of exists in this sort of status Twilight Zone. So that’s another thing that he’ll be wrestling with in season 2.”
