‘Midnight, Texas’ EP Teases Potential Season 2; What Will Happen Next?

Although NBC has yet to renew “Midnight, Texas” for a Season 2, executive producer Monica Owusu-Breen already has plans in place for the potential sophomore run of the supernatural drama.

In a recent interview with TVLine, Owusu-Breen said that the potential second season will explore the effects of Manfred’s (François Arnaud) decision to ingest multiple evil spirits to defeat Colcannar. “Manfred took an enormous risk doing that,” Owusu-Breen said. “What does it mean to take on evil, even if you’re doing that for good? I think that’s a question that Manfred, knock on wood, will be exploring next season.”

Owusu-Breen also revealed that fans can expect Bobo (Dylan Bruce) and Fiji (Parisa Fitz-Henley) to be still together at the beginning of the potential new season. “Bobo and Fiji have suffered so much [in Season 1 that] they deserve to not immediately break up,” the exec producer told TV Insider. “But Bobo has a neo-Nazi family out there, and there’s violence in that man we haven’t explored much. He can be pretty dark!”

As for newlyweds Lem (Peter Mensah) and Olivia (Arielle Kebbel), Owusu-Breen said that the latter’s complicated past may cause trouble in their marriage. “She has a past of abject horror and abuse,” Owusu-Breen said of the freelance assassin. “ And though Lem can leech her pain away for a while, it doesn’t stop it. If we’re lucky enough to get a second season, there’s lot to explore with [the theme of] what does it mean to be married when one character has so much pain and unresolved history?”

Arnaud confirmed to SYFY WIRE that Olivia’s father is paying Madonna (Kellee Stewart) to spy on Olivia and make sure that she doesn’t suddenly vanish. Although Madonna seems to have a lot of affection for the Midnighters, Owusu-Breen said that the diner manager has her own “dark backstory.” “There’s an Olivia/ Madonna story that’s begging to be told,” said the exec producer.

When asked what kind of villains viewers can expect in Season 2, Owusu-Breen pointed out that in book two of Charlaine Harris’ novel series — on which the show is based — “most of the evil is human, including some new adversaries for Manfred.” “[But] we’ll definitely have to introduce some supernatural entity into that scenario,” the exec producer said.
