 We're in.
 Of course we're in.
ALEX LOGAN:
Showrunner Eric Kripke
said that he wanted to
go deeper, not bigger,
on season 2.
So where were you most
interested in going
deep with your character?
Karen, start with you.
 Eric Kripke didn't
want to go big,
although he did go big as well.
It's definitely a deep
dive into her past.
It brings up a lot
of emotions for her.
And that sort of makes her
realize how important the boys
are in her life moving on.
So it's a journey for her,
an emotional roller coaster.
 I, for one, was very
interested just to open--
crack the scripts up
and see, like, you know,
they were going to take
these characters, given what
The Deep, kind of, you know,
some of the curveballs they
threw me season 1.
And they definitely threw
me some curveballs season 2.
So I was actually really
excited to show, you know,
it wasn't just like
surface-level comedy
or ridiculousness.
There was some
real self-loathing
and vulnerability going on.
It was-- this could've played
sort of both of those notes.
And he did a despicable thing.
And, you know, he's
definitely going
through some self-exploration.
[CHUCKLES]
 It could have been easy to
relax and let time just kind
of run its course
with these characters
if they kind of just sat back
and took what was coming.
But they really turned and faced
the beast head on, you know?
And that's something
that I was excited about.
It's that conflict, but like
the facing of the conflict,
the bravery that takes--
that it takes and that it was
kind of lacking in season 1,
just for the characters.
They were like, you
know, squirmish, and shy,
and scared of so many things.
And it was affecting
them in a negative way.
And season 2, we're turning
and facing that, you know?
We don't just catch
A-Train out on vacation
hitting a 9 iron out on the
green, you know what I mean?
He's in the thick of things.
 I can't stop.
I can't stop.
I can't stop.
I can't stop.
I can't stop.
I can't stop.
[BOOM]
 Yes, it did-- went bigger.
I mean, the action
sequence are amazing.
And, you know, the
blood keeps on pouring.
Amongst all that, there's
those little stories
that we're going to get a
glance into in season 2.
One of them, for me, is kind of
an origin story for Frenchie,
which is really super exciting.
It touches the whole thing we
started talking about in season
1, the whole trauma that led the
boys apart from the first place
and what happened there,
why did it happen.
 What I'm really
excited about exploring
is finding out why Mother's
Milk is even a part of the boys.
You know, in season 1, he really
leverages a very happy life.
For what he wanted,
he was living it.
Why would he give that up?
And we find that
out in season 2.
 We actually very specifically
played a mental game
in the writers room of
what would be the worst
thing to happen to each
and every character,
and could we make
that thing happen?
You know, if you have a season
2, it's always better to,
instead of going bigger, to
go deeper and really challenge
your characters, because
when they're under pressure,
you know, they reveal new
aspects of themselves.
So that was the primary goal.
 Is that exercise, is that
how you landed on the whale
for The Deep?
 [CHUCKLES]
The worst thing that
could happen to The Deep
is to kill a massive sea mammal.
You know, it was--
that's actually very funny.
No, no, that was,
frankly, a let's
top the dolphin in season 1.
I'll admit that.
That was a topping.
But, you know, there's--
we went to the one biggest
sea mammal we could kill.
And I think we're done
with killing sea mammals.
