Keira Knightley embraces stunts in second season of ‘Black Doves’

Knightley says the role’s physical demands make the spy drama more convincing as Helen Webb returns for another season of covert action.

  • In the second season of the Netflix series "Black Doves," Keira Knightley returns as Helen Webb, performing more stunts including kicking down doors.
  • "Black Doves" follows a spy-for-hire organization where Webb eliminates enemies while hiding secrets; Knightley describes the characters as "orally complicated creatures living strange lives."
  • Knightley said the physicality of the role filled a void in her life, adding that she felt "so pleased with myself" after executing the door-breaking sequence.
  • Ben Whishaw returns as Sam Young, the friend who assists Webb; Whishaw noted he would not want to be these characters but appreciates how "weird" they are.
  • Performing the stunts proved cathartic for the actress, with the door-breaking scene standing out as particularly meaningful during the show's second season.
