The Airport Chaplain is streaming now on Netflix and to mark the occasion, we had the pleasure of speaking to its leading man, the hugely decorated performer Hugo Weaving. The Matrix and Slow Horses star reflects on his role as Tobias Wallace, the airport’s fiercely empathetic and unconventional fixer. Across a wide-ranging conversation, Weaving unpacks why airports make such rich, underused dramatic territory, how meeting the real-life chaplain who inspired the series shaped his performance, and drops the news that The Airport Chaplain is already headed for a second season.

Plot

His approach is tested when new Terminal Manager Mira Ansari-Cole arrives and begins questioning just how much influence he should really have, sparking a growing power struggle as staff and passengers navigate crises of their own.
