- We’ll find out meaning of red sky by end of second season premiere of V says show runner Scott Rosenbaum.
– Scott Rosenbaum wouldn’t say whether John May would return in Season 2

– Charles Mesure (Hobbes) series regular for season 2 of V
– Nicholas Lea will return in Season 2
– Season 2 of V: We’ll see real nurturing relationship with Erica and Lisa, while Tyler turns to Anna
– Scott Rosenbaum just gave away that Diana is Anna’s mother’s name
– We will find out why Anna is so interested in Tyler
– We’re going to find out how long the Vs have been here and whether and how they’ve changed world history
– The hybrid baby is another weapon, as Anna would look at it, in her arsenal.,” says Scott Rosenbaum
– Ryan’s child “was not meant to be”; but Anna will use child for her “devious advantage” says Rosenbaum

– We will see more of the Fifth Column around the world. “We’re going to be moving around more internationally,” says Rosenbaum

UGO: Clearly one of the big current plot points is the army of V soldiers Anna is breeding. Given the budget limitations of television, how much of an army are we going to see? How much of a battle are we going to see?

SR: The finale will answer some of these questions. However, we are going to see a lot more of the V soldiers and their army in Season 2. Also, when the battle starts, we will see the battle. We do have budget limitations but we’ll figure it out.

UGO: We’ve had a lot of nerdtastic guest stars on the show, from Alan Tudyk to Michael Trucco. Who else are we going to see coming up?

SR: Season two we’ll definitely have a lot more. I enjoy this type of casting and it will continue.

UGO: Are we going to see The Fifth Column and the Visitors in a détente for the rest of the show, or could we end up in total global apocalypse territory – or somewhere in between?

SR: I’ll only say this – before any détente – there will be blood.

UGO: And when are we going to get to see the Visitors sans human skin?

SR: Season two.

UGO: It’s a pretty crowded landscape out there, especially for scifi and genre shows. To sum up, what makes V unique?

SR: What makes V unique is the expanse of the canvas it provides. We can tell stories about the V’s on the ship. V’s on Earth. V’s on other planets. There’s also so much mythology. Where they came from? Why are they here? And what they plan to do with us. On top of that we have the human perspective. The story’s are really limitless.

UGO: And a very important question to end with… Are we ever going to see Anna and Chad get it on?

SR: Yes. But you’ll have to wait and see.

More info after the cut.

OkUrRight: Do they plan on explaining what is going on on the Vs home planet anytime soon or is that going to remain a mystery for a while?

Rosenbaum: Yes. In Season 2 I plan to start answering some of these questions.

rogue3164: Are there any planes to show a V in full lizard suit or without their human skin? Come on guys, I think it would be realistic for a V to walk around its own ship without wearing their human skin.

Rosenbaum: We are planning to do this. Just wanted to wait for the right moment. In Season 2 you will finally see them without human skin.

Red_Rings_of_Doom: 1. Will you show the Vs in full reptile suits please?!
2. Will you show the Vs feeding on humans please?
3. Will you bring in Lost actors please?
4. Will the Us Military play a big role once the war starts?

Rosenbaum: Yes to all of the above…

Precious Muller: Why are the Visitors referring to themselves as Vs? Shouldn’t they have a specific race name for themselves?

Rosenbaum: Visitors refer to themselves this way so as not to scare off humans. They’re trying to be as relatable physically and psychologically as possible so as not to worry us so they can pursue their devious plans without interruption.

Ryan Hutchings: Will you be adding more cast members? ABC’s other hit show Lost successfully layered a group of cast members with deaths and additions throughout to keep things fresh. Will V follow a similar formula?

Rosenbaum: We’re definitely adding more characters next year.

Bridget Emerick: I have been wondering when will we figure out if we can or cannot trust Chad. I mean one second the guy seems like he getting it and then the next he in bed with the Vs. I mean come on. What’s his deal!?!

Rosenbaum: Chad is an interesting character. Part of his appeal is if we can or can’t trust him. In Season 2 however, Chad will make some very surprising choices behind Anna’s back.

- ABC
Jesse W: We know there are Worker Vs and Solider Vs. How many “breeds” of Vs are there?

Rosenbaum: There are quite a few. I won’t reveal them because I want you to enjoy the fun of discovery.

Alex Smith: I’ve noticed that one of the big themes of the show is visitor/human relations and that made me wonder if we’re ever going to see a visitor/human romantic relationship where the human knows exactly what they’re getting themselves into (Visitor = a lizard hiding behind cloned human skin) when they start interacting with the other person?

Are we ever going to see some official, insider interaction with the Visitors (e.g. Scientists, biologists asking them about genetics or technology)?

Rosenbaum: In Season 2 we’re going to really get into the mythology of the Vs. Who they are? What they can do? And of course, why are they really here?

Ryan Huffman: I’ve read that V is slated for only 12 episodes, is the season expected to continue or will it come back for another season?

Rosenbaum: Season 1 is 12 episodes but Season 2 will be more.

ABC’s V will be holding a panel discussion with its cast at Comic-Con this Saturday in San Diego (2:30 p.m. in Ballroom 20). While it’s sure to be exciting, I’ve already received some early intel on two new characters joining the sci-fi series in its second season.

On the ground, a radical anti-Visitors Fifth Column sect will emerge, headed by a leader the show is currently casting.

But the new role that has me most jazzed: the mother of devilish V leader Anna (Morena Baccarin) will be making her debut. Could this part possibly go to Jane Badler, who played the wicked Diana in the original 1980′s V? Executive producer Scott Rosenbaum recently told me he was looking to bring in some of the stars from the original series, so wouldn’t casting Badler make perfect sense? I can only imagine the sparks that would fly if Diana and Anna ended up in the same ‘mother’ ship. Diana is about the only being I can think of who could possibly put Anna in her place, and then take granddaughter Lisa (Laura Vandervoort) out for a gerbil burger.

Yes, it is true. I decided to leave CSI at the conclusion of Season 10 when my contract expired. I am very excited about my new show, “V,”

In a recent interview, Elizabeth Mitchell ( Erica Evans ) spoke about her character; what she likes about her role; Alan Tudyk ( Dale Maddox ); and talks about Season Two.. During the interview, at the 2:56 minute mark, Elizabeth was asked:

When do you think you’ll be starting filming for Season Two?
Elizabeth Mitchell: August 12th..

So the Writers have been back at work since the first week of June 2010.. Cast and Crew begin filming Season Two from Thursday 12th August 2010.. Will we see V: The New Season Season Two in November 2010??

Location: San Diego Convention Center
Address: 111 West Harbor Drive San Diego, CA 92101
Event: The V Panel ‘V’ Screening and Q&A
When: Saturday 24th July 2010
Time: 2:30pm – 3:15pm

V Screening and Q&A – The Cast and Crew behind the show, are heading back to Comic – Con.. The V Panel will include cast members Elizabeth Mitchell ( Erica ), Morris Chestnut ( Ryan ), Joel Gretsch ( Father Jack ), Logan Huffman ( Tyler ), Laura Vandervoort ( Lisa ), Charles Mesure ( Hobbs ), Morena Baccarin ( Anna ) and Scott Wolf ( Chad Decker ).. Joining the the Cast on the Panel are Crew members Scott Rosenbaum ( Showrunner / Executive Producers ) and Steve Pearlman ( Executive Producers ) for a Q&A session with fans.. They will also be screening a special highlight reel from Season One of the show..

“V” will be back next season, but fans will have to wait a while for it.

ABC will hold back the sci-fi series, which ends its season on Tuesday (May 18), until midseason next year. Jeff Bader, the network’s executive vice president for planning, scheduling and distribution, says doing that will accomplish a couple of things.

“Because it’s a big, sci-fi event show, they could use the extra time to ramp up and get the show as good as it could possibly be,” Bader tells Zap2it. “It’s also a show we’d like to run as uninterrupted as possible, like we’ve done with ‘Lost.’ If it can run uninterrupted, it will play much better.”
