At the V panel at Comic-Con today, executive producer Scott Rosenbaum revealed some interesting info about what's to come for Visitor leader Anna in Season 2 – including a tidbit he didn't even mean to give away!
It turns out in the season premiere, we'll meet Anna's mother, who Rosenbaum hinted was perhaps the most important among several new characters we'll be meeting this year. Later, a question was asked about whether we'd go to the Visitors' home planet, and Rosenbaum said we'd certainly learn more about them - which is when he began a sentence with, "When we meet Diana…"
This got a big reaction, and Rosenbaum admitted he'd just accidentally given away that yes, Anna's mom will share the name with an iconic character from the original V. Even before we knew this fact, Rosenbaum was asked during the panel if perhaps Jane Badler, who played Diana, could play Anna's mother. Rosenbaum wouldn't commit to this, though he did say he'd love to have Badler on the show at some point.
One complaint some had about the first season of the show was it felt too small in scope, given the situation. Rosenbaum promised that Season 2 of V would "absolutely" be bigger and that the network actually encouraged them to give the show more of an international feel, which everyone agreed was the right choice. In fact, they'd recently sent crews to various parts of Europe and Asia to shoot footage that could be used as background for scenes they might like to spend in various countries down the line.
Other info from the V panel regarding Season 2:
* We will find out what the red sky means by the end of the season premiere.
* We'll see more of Father Jack taking on a soldier persona, with Rosenbaum stating he wanted to explore what it meant when someone who has lived by such distinct rules and spirituality begins reacting in an extreme way to a war scenario. As Rosenbaum put it, if Jack can go to such a place, "What does that mean for the rest of us?"
* Morena Baccarin said that after Anna found her eggs destroyed, the ensuing primal scream she let out proves she is, "Closer to humanity than she wants to be. And that's a really tough spot for her to be in." Meanwhile, her daughter Lisa (Laura Vandervoort) is also continuing to feel more empathy and human emotions, and will develop a closer relationship with Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell), even as Erica's son Tyler (Logan Huffman) grows closer to Anna.
* We will find out more about how long the Vs have been putting sleeper agents on Earth. Rosenbaum pondered, "Have they been here in the 40s, the 50s, the 60s? Has their presence changed world events in ways we can't imagine?" We will also find out exactly what the Visitors are, physically – whether we can truly define them as lizards or perhaps a combination of species.
