Question: Will [Gillian Anderson] be able to be in future seasons? She has a new show at midseason on NBC.
Bryan Fuller: We absolutely want her to be. She absolutely wants to be. It’s going to be working out the schedule with the other show, and we know that it’s about the schedule. We were very flexible with her last year. Actually, she was in five episodes, and we filmed all of her material over three days. We got her for three days, got her in, did the five episodes, and got her out, because she has a family in London that she wants to spend time with. She’s very interested in coming back. Right now, she’s in the first episode of the second season, but we have to work out schedules and see if we can actually pull it off.
Q: Where are you at in the process of season two and what does your writers’ room look like for season two?
BF: The writers’ room, we’ve got a pretty great group of writers. We just started on July 1, so we’ve only been back... we’ve had three days back in the room. [This interview was conducted July 5.] The first day, we talked about broad concepts for the season, and then we broke the first episode in two days. We had a lot of material to pay off and land and a lot of new things to set up and get started. It was very exciting to be in the writers’ room this week and talking about where we’re going in the season, what stories we need to keep telling, and where our big tentpoles. It’s a really interesting room. We’ve got a lot of people coming back from the first season, and we’ve got some new people in the room, too. I’m very excited.
