“I think people are going to be very surprised at the take we have on things,” McNamara says of the finale. “Expect the unexpected because you can’t really count on anything.” As for the spinoff, she confirms that it will explore Mia in the aftermath of her father’s death. “Having to pick up her father’s mantle so soon after meeting him and so soon after losing him is very difficult. It’s a huge hurdle that Mia has to jump over and really determine if she can see herself as this hero,” McNamara says. “I think she questions a little bit if she can live up to his legacy.”
The past decade has seen a lot of change for McNamara. She’s gone from a math nerd in Missouri to the star of two TV shows and the idol of three massive fandoms. She calls herself a “perpetual student,” but perhaps her most valuable lesson wasn’t about her career. “I’ve had a lot of doors open this year. I’ve had a lot of doors close this year. People have come into my life. People have gone out of my life. Jobs lost and gained, stories begun and ended,” she says. “I think the biggest lesson I’ve learned is, as crazy as things can get, it’s important to pause, take a breath and appreciate the moment that you’re in.”
If there’s a character McNamara relates the most to, it’s Clary, who she describes as a “beacon of hope.” Despite her literal and figurative demons, Clary stays positive, but, like McNamara, that doesn’t mean that you can cross her. “I look at any adversity as a challenge, and I am stubborn about finding my silver lining,” she says. “That doesn’t mean that I’m not an intelligent person. It doesn’t mean that I can’t kick them in the ass.”
