Production [edit]

I watched all of the episodes in a row, and I was going along, going, 'Okay, that's interesting. Okay, I can come across something there. Okay, that'due south practiced. And when I got to the end, and information technology was that ending, I went, 'Oh my God, I'grand in problem.' I mean, I idea it was cool, simply information technology's also 1 of those moments as a writer, where you become, 'Ohhh kay, what do I practice with that?' ... I chosen up Graham Yost and I chosen up Mark [Verheiden], saying, 'What were you guys thinking?' And they said, 'I dunno. Nosotros just thought it was cool.'

 — Season two showrunner, Remi Aubuchon[3]

Promotional poster for the second season

Falling Skies was renewed on July seven, 2011, for a 2d season.[2] TNT announced production had begun on the second season on October 24, 2011.[four] For the second season, Brandon Jay McLaren joined the bandage in October as Jamil Dexter,[5] a mechanic. McLaren volition feature in seven episodes.[6]

Filming took identify in Vancouver and at the Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam from Oct 2011 to March 2012.[7] For the first flavor, product took identify in Hamilton[8] and Toronto.[9] [10] Noah Wyle said that the modify in location fabricated filming significantly unlike.[11] A new coiffure came in for the second flavour, with simply "ii or three people on staff that were in that location in season one."[eleven] The new staff includes a new writing staff and showrunner.[xi]

Remi Aubuchon was hired equally the showrunner for the second season in May 2011 before the first-season premiere.[12] [13] Once Aubuchon entered the writer'south room, he began speaking of the cliffhanger "it became a really fun challenge." Out of that cliffhanger, says Aubuchon, "came some actually positive things that propel a lot of the storytelling in the second season. And the writers came up with a pretty cool style for Tom Mason to get off that spaceship once more."[iii] "You'll always catch people after a huge trauma maxim, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad.' Or, 'Information technology was fun,' Or, 'It was cool falling off that cliff,'" says Aubuchon. "The truth is, at first information technology was like, 'Oh my God, should i just say I can't practise this job?' Ultimately, though, I think it turned out cool."[three] Series pb Noah Wyle received several phone calls after the first-flavor finale aired. The number one question was "What the hell were you doing getting on that spaceship?" He said that they "wrote themselves into a corner".[three] Moon Bloodgood, who plays Dr. Anne Glass, says she was sort of daunted simply impressed past the writing.[iii] Aubuchon added that Tom Bricklayer'due south capture helped the writer'due south change the character slightly. He stated: "Tom comes away from that experience feeling used and manipulated. It wasn't the experience [he expected]. He thought he was going to be having a prissy conversation with an extraterrestrial being. Information technology turned out to be worse than that. More than that, I won't say. Simply that'southward what made it fun."[3]

Greg Beeman, who directed the episode, spoke nearly Remi Aubuchon'south hiring. He said that Remi had "a lot of ideas about how to keep the skillful stuff we'd established in Season one", and "diminish the things that weren't as potent".[fourteen] Steven Spielberg's original conception of Falling Skies was that the characters in the series would be nomadic.[14] The idea for the second season was to "create a mobile refugee military camp fabricated up of vehicles and rag-tag tents."[14] Chris Faloona, who was the Director of Photography in the first season, was unable to return due to commitments on some other series, and Nate Goodman was hired.[xiv] He worked with Greg Beeman on the NBC series Heroes. Aubuchon and Beeman discussed what was ahead for the characters this flavour, and soon later on, Beeman chosen Connor Jessup, who plays Ben Mason, and said "I've simply heard what the plans are for you for this season. And my potent advice is that you get a trainer and start eating your Wheaties! You are in a HUGE storyline is going to revolve around you… You're a warrior, you lot're a skitter killer and yous're a badass!"[14] Jessup hired a trainer that very day.[14]

Promotion [edit]

Promotion for the season includes a digital comic volume, entitled Falling Skies: The Battle of Fitchburg. The comic was published by Dark Horse Comics and was launched on April 18, 2012.[15] Bridging the gap between seasons, the comic picks up where the first season left off.

Reception [edit]

Reviews [edit]

The second season was well received by critics. Many praised it as being stronger than the beginning, noting a footstep-up in quality. Maureen Ryan of The Huffington Post compared the second flavour to the offset by saying "Season 2 is a different animal, a much leaner and meaner automobile that allows sentiment to exist nowadays just unexpressed and depicts a darker world in which innocence is a luxury that no one tin can truly afford."[26] Chuck Barney declared "Sunday'southward explosive ii-hour opener boldly delivers on the promise past TNT producers to rev up both the pace and the firepower in Season 2."[27] Screen Bluster's Anthony Ocasio lauded the season premiere. "While further episodes volition reveal more, the blazon of character development, intriguing storylines and exciting activeness that will be contained in Falling Skies flavour 2 , at that place's no doubt that TNT'south hitting drama volition likely become an ballsy risk, spanning many seasons," he said.[28]
