The second season will explore the identities of the team shining a light on who they appear to be versus who they really are. Teased in the trailer, below, real-world issues like the COVID-19 pandemic and racial tensions across America affect the inner workings of the show and appear to influence some characters’ motivations.
Meanwhile, Alex is on her way out when the show first picks up, but Billy Crudup‘s Cory Ellison isn’t letting her go that easily. “Alex, I need you to come back. You are the only thing that can save us,” he pleads with her before adding with a laugh, “don’t think I’ve ever said that before.”
