The Chernobyl Podcast | Part 3 | HBO

Lyudmilla Ignatenko (Jessie Buckley), a Pripyat resident, ignores warning about her firefighter husband’s (Adam Nagaitis) contamination; Valery Legasov (Jared Harris) lays out a decontamination plan, complete with human risks. On the podcast, Mazin breaks down how they filmed the divers scene with additional commentary from director Johan Renck. Sagal and Mazin talk about scenes that were left on the cutting room floor, how much of Jessie Buckley’s actions mirror the real Lyudmilla Ignatenko’s, and more. The Chernobyl Podcast is produced by HBO in conjunction with Pineapple Street Media. Original music by Kaan Erbay. Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgård and Emily Watson star in Chernobyl - the story about the 1986 nuclear catastrophe, and the sacrifices made to save Europe from unimaginable disaster.
