Season 2 will be accessible to new viewers from the start
In a piece called “Writers strike’s effects spill over into fall TV; New season full of second chances, proven concepts“, Christopher Lawrence talks about all the new series from last season who had to deal with the writers’ strike stopping their course half-way through, and how they approach this new season.
He talked to a few series creators during the TCA press tour, including our very own God Rand Ravich :
Based on talking with series creators and their network bosses during the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour in Beverly Hills, virtually every drama returning for its sophomore year will be treating its season premiere as an additional pilot episode, reintroducing the series in an effort to bring in new viewers.
“If you have never seen the show before,” says Rand Ravich, creator of NBC’s quirky detective series LIFE, “you can come to this episode one and be thrown into the world and not be left behind and be instantly up to date with everything that’s happening.”
