Da Vinci's Demons

A new interview with Tom and David S. Goyer, recorded recently in Los Angeles, has been shared by I Am Rogue. 

Jim Halterman: Tell me about Season 2. In that first scene, we’re in a different place and Leonardo and Riario are working together in a tough situation.

Da Vinci's Demons composer Bear McCreary shared a wonderful interview with Tom, where they chat about the season 2 score, and inspirations for the music he created for the New World. 

Coming back for a second season, is it easier?

Tom Riley: In theory, yeah, because I think we found our tone by the end of the first season. We found what worked best for the show and how to push it in the right way, so we knew what we were coming back to and the characters already had foundations so you could put them in different configurations and let them fly. But at the same time, because it’s so bold, the second season, because we decided to leave Italy and go crazy, that was different, that was hard.

There's plenty of the same off-the-wall madness in Da Vinci's Demons, writer-producer David S. Goyer's delirious TV drama that returns for a second season 9 p.m. Saturday on Starz.

Off-the-wall?

Saturday's episode opens atop Machu Picchu (in present-day Peru) where holy men in terrifying masks are preparing to decapitate Leo as a sacrifice to the Incan sun god. Huh?! OK, let's come back to that.

Cinema Blend has a great preview article for tomorrow night's premiere of season 2. Read it in full on the site.
