The cast of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy was electric in Season 1. One’s got to imagine it’s a challenge to join such an ensemble and encourage the audience to fall for your character just as hard, but Ritu Arya did just that in the second season as Lila Pitts.
With The Umbrella Academy Season 3 now available to watch — or, let’s get real, to binge on Netflix, Arya joined us for an episode of Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party to retrace her steps in the industry and discuss how she scored a role on one of the streamer’s hottest shows. Arya went on to train at the Oxford School of Drama. While the program did give her countless tools to apply to her first professional gigs, there was one thing that all the studying in the world could never have prepared her for, the extreme amount of rejection one often encounters in this business.
The combination of embracing her love of playing music and practicing mediation did the trick. Soon after receiving a nomination for Best Newcomer at the British Soap Awards, Arya booked a role that would send her star soaring, Lila on Umbrella Academy. While it’s abundantly clear now that playing Lila was a game-changing opportunity, back when Arya first auditioned for the role, she thought it was only going to be a one-episode thing.
“I think sometimes before a take, the impulsive thing, so I might just do something unexpected for myself, whether that’s a weird move or saying something, not for anyone else, just for myself, I think can get me into her unpredictable world.”
