In the trailer for Season 2, we see that they have somehow survived (good thing someone in that crew is super powerful) and that the natural resources of magic in the fantastical land of Fillory have reached a deadly new low. There are also hints about what’s next for Elliot (Hale Appleman) and Margo (Summer) Bishil), as well as some very interesting teases regarding Julia (Stella Maeve) and her alliance with the man who tried to kill her friends.
The network also announced the February 8 return of their other top-notch literary adaptation, The Expanse. According to the release, Season 2 of the Thomas Jane-led series based on James S.A. Corey’s opuses As Season 2 “kicks off with interplanetary tensions at an all-time high” as Earth and Mars ready themselves for “an all-out battle.”
