Now that new episodes are definitely happening, viewers will be beginning to wonder what the second series will have in store. Luckily for fans, the future plot is something that is already on showrunner Shawn Ryan's mind.
The first season, as mentioned, was lifted from Matthew Quirk's novel of the same name but there is no further material written by the author to form a basis for season two. This means that future seasons would need to be based on new scripts.

"The initial pitch for this show that we sold to Netflix was that each season would tell its own, mostly self-enclosed, a beginning, middle and end story," he explained.
"If we are successful enough that Netflix wants more seasons, I think there'd be a whole new world in which you would see a limited number of characters from this current season going into that. But that's something that I'd have to sit down with the writers and have it all figured out."
