“So we were very, very happy to have the response that we did and that we got a second season with even more episodes. … When you get a longer season, it’s not just that the audience gets more episodes, but we actually have more time to tell a story. … Because I think in the first season, when we had 10 [episodes], we felt like our foot was really on the gas a lot, and we had to really rush through a lot of things. And so it’s nice to have a little bit more time to tell some of these stories.”

What occurs in ‘Wild Cards’ Season 2
