Luciane Buchanan

Luciane Buchanan Instagram – New Zealand-born Tongan actor @lucianebuchanan is a big deal around the world. ⁠
⁠
Season one of The Night Agent, the Netflix show that she stars in alongside Gabriel Basso, was, for a time, the streaming giant’s most-watched English language show, clocking up 812 million hours (or over 100,000 years) of time people watched her character Rose take on a bunch of political baddies. Season two of the action thriller, out January 23, is hotly anticipated to do similar business. ⁠
⁠
Luciane is currently based in New York City, but she remains firmly connected to her whenua. She recently wrote and starred in Lea Tupu’anga/Mother Tongue, a short film directed by Vea Mafile’o about a Tongan/Pākeha speech language therapist who lies about her linguistic abilities in order to get a job caring for an elderly Tongan man. The short, which premiered at Sundance in January of last year, has since played festivals the world over, collecting accolades around the way.⁠

Ahead of the release of the latest season of The Night Agent, Luciane talks to @rebeccatimpson about skinny dipping, getting drunk at Broadway shows, Beyoncé conspiracy theories and more – more at the link in bio 🖤⁠
