Luke Macfarlane had one overwhelming feeling following the season-ending cliffhanger of the Killjoys’ inaugural run: gratitude—that his character wasn’t killed off.
“I thought ‘Well, that’s it. I guess I’m axed.’ It was terrifying. No actor wants to read that they’re banished somewhere.”
While an unhappy end on Arkyn may have seemed uncomfortably close for D’Avin as the season wrapped up, Macfarlane and his castmates are relieved to report that when the series returns, his character will too.
At this weekend’s Toronto ComiCon, Killjoys stars Macfarlane, Hannah John-Kamen, and Aaron Ashmore, along with showrunner Michelle Lovretta, dropped big news about what’s on the horizon for the trio of interplanetary bounty hunters… or should we say quartet?
Here’s what we learned about the upcoming season of Killjoys and the show’s stars at their ComiCon panel this weekend:
D’Avin’s troubles are far from over. Macfarlane relayed that in one of the new episodes, the Killjoys’ special effects team has to do something really unpleasant to him. Over and over again. It was so awful that one of the effects guys felt guilty about it and bought Macfarlane a case of beer. Not a pint. A case.
A certain character who we’ve heard from but never seen may be made visible this season, and her relationship with one Killjoy in particular is expanded upon. “John does love his tech,” quipped Ashmore. Here’s a big fat hint at who we’re talking about:
The new season will bring in a whole host of new characters while delving deeper into the mystery of Level Sixes, Red 17, and whatever the hell is happening on Arkyn. The mission for Dutch, says John-Kamen, is “to get to the bottom of Red 17 and Khlyen and where she fits in with all of this.”
You’ve heard of stunt doubles but what about stunt dresses? John-Kamen explains that fancy gowns Dutch frequently wears are specially made for fight scenes. “It’s amazing, they design it so there’s shorts underneath and it’s designed to split open so I can move around—with modesty,” jokes the actor.
Hannah is an incredible secret keeper. Like her cagey character Dutch, the actor knows how to hold her tongue. Before filming began on the first season the show, John-Kamen had a small role in a HUGE movie and never mentioned it once to any of her Killjoys cast or crew. The movie? Star Wars: The Force Awakens. “It was my first spaceship,” says the actor. No wonder she she looks like she owns every ship she sets foot on in Killjoys.
Killjoys will return to Space later this year. Check back for the announcement about the season two premiere date.

“Mercy Street” has a longer road ahead of it.
PBS has renewed the drama — its first original scripted production in more than a decade — for a second season, the public broadcaster said Wednesday.
“We are thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response to ‘Mercy Street’ and the return of high-quality American drama on PBS stations,” said Beth Hoppe, PBS chief programming officer and general manager, general audience programming, in a prepared statement. “We’re looking forward to a second season offering more fascinating stories inspired by historical events. The effort from everyone involved, including the producers, directors, historical consultants, actors and PBS stations, resulted in an extraordinary series that exemplifies PBS’ world-class programming.”
PBS may be in search of a new flagship drama. The very popular “Downton Abbey” recently concluded, leaving the broadcaster in search of a new scripted property around which to rally.
The drama explores life in Alexandria, Virginia in the Spring of 1862. The border town between North and South is the longest-occupied Confederate city of the war and ruled under martial law, The drama follows the stories of multiple characters, whose lives intersect at Mansion House, a family luxury hotel transformed into a Union Army hospital.
The first season was executive produced by Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker of Scott Free; Lisa Q. Wolfinger; and David Zabel. PBS said its January 17 premiere reached more than 5.7 million viewers, and that the series’ six episodes have streamed 2 million times (from January 14-February 28) across available platforms, which include PBS station websites, PBS.org and PBS apps for iOS, Android, FireTV, Roku, Apple TV, Xbox 360 and Windows 10.
The ensemble cast for season two will include Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Josh Radnor, Gary Cole,Hannah James, Brad Koed Jr., Norbert Leo Butz, Tara Summers, McKinley Belcher III, Jack Falahee, AnnaSophia Robb, Donna Murphy, Suzanne Bertish and Luke Macfarlane.

Henry Hopkins, a hospital chaplain with a dark past, is newly committed to God and his work. His integrity, compassion and worldly wisdom make him an appealing figure to staff and patients alike, and eventually draws the eye of Emma Green, against her own instincts. He, in turn, is drawn to her, though he does his best to hide it, since she is a Confederate who sees him as the enemy. Their attraction is unspoken and slow burning, but will eventually ignite into something neither can deny.
Luke on Henry:
Chaplain Hopkins attends to the souls of the wounded and anybody else who really needs any sort of spiritual guidance, which was an important time or an important thing for these men. This is a time when people were a lot more religious than they are nowadays. So I’ll read Bible verses. I’ll read from the Book of Common Prayer. I’ll do the services. So many of the men in this hospital were at a point in their lives where they badly needed spiritual guidance. Some of them are at the end of their lives and they need to make peace with God, or try to make some kind of peace. So he’s definitely a welcomed figure in the hospital.
Luke Macfarlane currently stars as one of the leads on the SyFy series “Killjoys.” He made his feature film debut in Bill Condon’s Kinsey opposite Liam Neeson and Laura Linney. He also starred in Robert Altman’s “Tanner on Tanner,” a limited series for the Sundance Channel, opposite Cynthia Nixon. On the small screen, Luke was a series regular on the Canadian sitcom “Satisfaction” and has appeared as a guest on hit shows such as “Smash,” “Person of Interest” and “Beauty and the Beast.” On the stage, Luke starred in “Where Do We Live,” written and directed by Chris Shinn, at the Vineyard Theater, as well as the play Juvenilia.
Most recently, Luke has starred in the Playwright’s Horizons production of “The Busy World Is Hushed” opposite Jill Clayburgh. Luke is a graduate of the Juilliard Drama Division, where he starred in the productions of “The School of Night,” “Blue Window,” “The Grapes of Wrath” and “As You Like It.” Luke is best known for his role on ABC’s hit television series “Brothers and Sisters.” He is also known for his work on the critically acclaimed Steven Bochco FX series “Over There” and most recently starred in the CBC mini-series “Iron Road,” leading an all-star cast including Peter O’Toole and Sam Neill.
