It’s no surprise that National Geographic’s new drama “Barksins” looks like it was really shot in the 17th century wilderness — even if there were no cameras in the 1600s.
Production designer Isabelle Guay built the set from “scratch,” the show’s star Marcia Gay Harden shared during the “Variety After-Show.” On “Barksins,” Harden portrays Mathilde, a local innkeeper who inherits land from her late husband.
“This is this village in the middle of Quebec that looks exactly like the village from the 1690s. It’s a working village. There are working fireplaces and she built four different sets that were just completely correct and authentic to the time,” she said. “You didn’t have to imagine so much. You were in those dresses that were dragging through the mud. You were picking the stuff from the garden. It was was easy to be there and be acting these characters and understanding them.

“Barkskins” is the first novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx since the Oscar-winning adaptation of her source material for “Brokeback Mountain.” National Geographic actually optioned the rights to the epic in 2016, months before its publication and it is arriving on our screens four years later, just in time to qualify for the 2020 Emmys. Set in New France toward the end of the 17th century, Nat Geo has invested in the craft of this period drama as it eyes nominations below the line in Creative Arts categories. The network hosted the press privately at a virtual premiere event this past Sunday, featuring webcam panels that included not only the cast, but also costume designer Anna Terrazas and production designer Isabelle Guay, affirming a comprehensive push for the show as Emmy voting approaches.
Terrazas contends in the Best Period Costumes category, in which Nat Geo has been nominated twice in recent years,...
