Can they prevent the Witness ascension and stop the Army of the 12 Monkeys from destroying the world?
EW turned to executive producer Terry Matalas to get the scoop.
It just sort of happened in the way that we wrote it.
Its not like 2043 or 2046 where theres still camps of survivors.
At this point, the virus has probably mutated for its last time and killed every last person.
Its about the sons, if you will.
Speaking of family, how desperate is Cole to find Cassie?
Are we seeing how the rest of the world was affected by the plague?You wont want to.
Yes, we continue to see parts of it.
Cassies pregnant with The Witness.
So she will struggle with that in a completely different way than Cole will.
But the main difference is, in season 2, she was a lot more cynical about the world.
Yes, theyre very vulnerable at this point.
Why is The Witness so determined to destroy the world?
The episode guest stars Christopher Lloyd, who plays the recruiter for them.
So youll understand the Army of the 12 Monkeys religious motivations and you might even sympathize by the end.
Christopher Lloyd plays the Pallid Mans father.
Theyre willing to do horrible things with the kindest of smiles.
She is tasked with raising this child throughout time; think of her as the evilest of Mary Poppins.
We saw in the finale that Olivia basically reunited Ramse with his son.
What does she want from him?She is no longer an accolade of The Witness.
She feels as though she was misled.
She was made promises that have not come through.
So youre going to learn more.
Olivias a huge, absolutely huge character this season.
We will learn a lot more about her.
Whats next for Katarina, and therefore Hannah, this season?This season is everybodys darkest hour.
Is there any stopping that?Unless they can reset this, she dies at the CDC.
Yes, that is set.
We definitely have an answer.
Shes got a great arc.
Im pretty excited for people to see.
