Minne Driver has opened up about her recent experience filming in Ireland for the second season of Amazon Prime's Modern Love. 

The second season of the anthology series, which is based on a New York Times column, features an episode filmed in Dublin. Driver, who has ties to Ireland through her family in Mullingar, said that returning to Ireland gave her a "sense of coming home" and "a sense of connection."

"I love Ireland, I think it must be that there's something there for me," said the English actress, according to Press Association. "That it is a cornerstone of my life because it has been that way every single time I set foot there."

She spent her two-week quarantine before filming exploring the mountains in Wicklow, and she said it was "one of the happiest times."

Her character in Modern Love is Stephanie Curran, who has a sentimental attachment to her car because it's her last connection to her late husband. Driver said she had a new relation to her character after losing her mother earlier this year.

"My mum died this year and I have a lot of really beautiful memories that are objects of hers, and I could never let them go," she said. Though she initially had a different vision of the character, Irish director John Carney challenged her to see his vision.

"I think not seeing eye-to-eye with somebody creatively is a good thing, it's how you create," Driver said.

Carney reunited with Sing Street stars Jack Reynor and Lucy Boynton for the upcoming season. The second season also stars Gbenga Akinnagbe, Tom Burke, Zoë Chao, Grace Edwards, Dominique Fishback, Kit Harrington, Garrett Hedlund, Tobias Menzies, Sophie Okonedo, Zane Pais, Isaac Powell, Marquis Rodriguez, and Lulu Wilson.

Season 2 of Modern Love will begin streaming on Amazon Prime on Friday, August 13. Watch the trailer for the second season below:
