I’m hours away of shooting [season 2, episode 1]. I can inform you that we’re all going through things — without giving anything away.”
Kebbel also weighed in, saying, “I’m an element of season 2, yes. We start filming [season 2] with a pick up of that [finale] moment. My head is so deep into season 2 already.”

But the reality is that I’m so used to Belle being in precarious situations almost every episode,” she noted. “And though each Belle and Cal are there, it felt in that moment that, because Cal is in front, he’s the one in additional at risk. I’m behind him, based on where we ended the episode. So after I read it, my head went to, ‘What’s going to occur to Cal?’”

He continued: “Now — where is the story juiciest, now that we’re coping with a topic like cancer? I don’t wanna sugarcoat it. I don’t want kid gloves on. I don’t desire a protected approach. I would like Cal to undergo it, because I believe that’s the duty to those men and ladies who come back from uniform.”
Marshall-Green had hope within the show’s creative team.
“And possibly there’s a way, with the advancement of treatments, to have each worlds. But really, in the long run, it’s about what stories are left to inform,” he continued. “That’s as much as Yana Grebenyuk Spencer [Hudnut] and the writers, and in addition Luke [Grimes]. Luke’s been playing this role for a very long time. But I believe I can speak for everyone after I say that we love coming to work, and, boy, will we come to work. The primary season was a grueling shoot.”
Kebbel went on to precise gratitude for the success to date.
“When persons are watching a show like Marshals, I’m undecided they’re fascinated by the art and sacrifice of it, but there’s numerous sacrifice that goes into it,” she shared. “So I’m really grateful that we’re constructing momentum and have an audience, and I’m really grateful that we now have so many crew getting back from season 1 to season 2 so all of us get to go, ‘We’re on this together.’”
