Writing
[
edit
]
The majority of the writers for the first season return for the second.
[20]
During the
first season
,
showrunner
Joe Pokaski
noted the final episode would leave "some stuff open, intentionally" to be addressed in the second season, though its
post-credit scene
,
[21]
which established
Brigid O'Reilly
as a threat to the heroes,
[22]
while the announcement trailer for the second season teased the inclusion of her comics alter ego Mayhem.
[23]
Pokaski believed O'Reilly would be a relatable villain, describing her as "kind of what we wish we all were if we didn't face consequences". He added that a lot of the development that the character has in the first season was written as an
origin story
for the character to become a villain in the second season.
[24]
He further described her as "one of the first big scary things" that
Tandy and Tyrone
face in the second season. The first-season finale also introduces Tyrone's ability to absorb people into his cloak, and Pokaski said that Tyrone is "a doorway to something", which would be explored further in the second season. Additionally, Tandy and Tyrone's living arrangements are reversed from the first season, allowing Tandy to explore a side of herself that she has neglected, and for Tyrone to figure out himself "without the facade that he's put up.
[22]
The season would also continue to explore vodun and the "Divine Pairing" mythology established in the first season, with Pokaski saying, "We want to respectfully continue to use Vodun as a mirror upon which we show not only our moral, but our psychological abstracts of our characters."
