Mitch Larsen will for certain be around for the reveal of her daughter Rosie’s killer, now that Michelle Forbes has been locked in as a series regular for Season 2 of AMC’s The Killing, TVLine has learned exclusively.
Forbes earned an Emmy nomination for her heart-wrenching portrayal of Mitch, whose teen daughter died under very mysterious circumstances. And though Season 1 wrapped with wannabe Seattle mayor Darren Richmond being wrongly pinched for — and then seemingly killed for — the murder, series boss Veena Sud assured us that in Season 2, “We will solve the investigation of who murdered Rosie Larsen — all will be revealed — and there will also be a second case that emerges.”
Speaking of the rain-drenched drama’s sophomore run, which started up production on Tuesday, TVLine can also report on two major characters joining the muddled, muddied mix. On the cop shop side of things, viewers will meet Lt. Carlson, a clean-cut, well-dressed lawman in his 50s who tends to keep tabs on which way the political winds are blowing.
Another recurring player to be introduced is Alexi, a 19-year-old Polish-American veteran of the foster system who, with his myriad piercings and tattoos, is described as a “scary looking,” “dark” and “frightening teen who can turn on a dime emotionally.” Alexi thus is a “bad boy” who proves “attractive to teen girls looking for an adventure” — meaning he could fold into the Rosie Larsen mystery, or perhaps play a role in Season 2′s new case.Source: tvline.com
Well, Michelle was fantastic even of the series dig drag a bit. Hopefully it will have a little more excitement in season two.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Season 2
ReplyDeleteShe was good, but the character was the worst. Seriously, one of the most unsympatethic character I've ever seen in a TV show.
ReplyDeleteSeason two will be a make-or-break period for this show. I'm still not convinced that this show wasn't a one hit wonder.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Great news, Michelle Forbes was amazing in season 1. I'm really looking forward to season 2, so many questions to answer for the writers. Cannot wait!
ReplyDeleteI like her, so I'm glad, not saying I wouldn't like to see her in another role though.
ReplyDeleteI guess I will reserve judgement on this news....
ReplyDeleteI wanted The Killing to be one case= one season and keeping Forbes around makes it continue on with last year's story. I'm not sure if that is good or bad just yet and I do like Michelle Forbes, but I think it may have been better to move on to a different case instead of trying to integrate last year into the new year.
I do know that the first season finale would have been better - MUCH better if it had concluded instead of carrying over.
I'm not to sure how i feel about the news.I missed last seasons ending,due to moving and not having cable at the time.That said i know how it ended,or i should say how it didn't end.I guess i will reserve judgment until the new season begins and how they pick up the pieces.
ReplyDeleteNext Polish character with some hazy past and probable mafia connections? (like in Person of Interest, but that was funny, especially pronunciation of "Szajka Pruszków 9" or some other polish words like "Ziom"... :) ) I really, really want to see that, just because of curiosity :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, Alexi isn't American name, is it? Nor polish, so again we're confused with our eastern neighbours, assholes! :)
Michelle was a great part of S1, but I'm curious to see how they will keep her character relavant, but I'm just looking for a quick and satisfying resolution to the main plot of S1, then we can get into the branching stories/conspiracies....
ReplyDeleteForbes was absolutely terrific in the first season, the Emmy nod was well deserved and I thought it was already clear she would be back in the second season. After all they have to close the current murder case first. I hope they'll keep some of the important season 1 figures around like in Damages when Ted Danson kept re-appearing in the next 2 seasons as a guest star.
