At this year’s Comic-Con International in San Diego, we were able to sit down at a roundtable with Reign Executive Producer Laurie McCarthy to hear what’s coming up for Season 2. You can find some video of that below:
Mary and Francis also have some other challenges to overcome “They also have basically the same job now, but they’re going to do it in conflicting ways. Their personalities are not radically different, but they’re going to approach problems in different ways at different times, and the stakes are huge. They’re life and death, and they’re King and Queen, so that’s going to cause problems between them as well,” McCarthy explained.
Secrets may also lurk. “They’ve been, to date, incredibly honest with each other, except for the secret of Lola’s pregnancy, but there’s something that Francis can’t tell Mary, and that’s that he killed his father, and he can’t tell her that, because not that it’s a dark secret that he holds close, because that’s the kind of thing that gets someone beheaded, and it could get her beheaded, too. So I think that’s going to kind of tear away at their relationship; the fact that he’s haunted by something, and it’s something pretty dark and awful,” McCarthy teased.
