Well they can composite many scenes. Film it once for every actor and combine them all. Won't work for everything, obviously scenes where touching is required won't work.
There's an infamous scene in the final The Good Wife where they made a scene like this. They said for scheduling reasons, but there were long standing reports that the two actors didn't get along.
Orphan Black had the same actor up to 7 or 8 times in some scenes as they were all played by the same person. They did this in every episode for every series.
The current show Devs (BBC2) has a variation for reasons I won't go into for fear of spoiling anything.
