The sci-fi drama, Humans, aired its first season finale on AMC. In the upcoming Season 2 of Humans, will Leo(Colin Morgan) and synth Mia/Anita (Gemma Chan) unexpectedly find themselves reuniting with Dr. George Millican (William Hurt) after his shocking conclusion?

In our previous recap, though he was trying to help Niska (Emily Berrington), George's intervention was suddeny interrupted by Beatrice/Karen (Ruth Bradley). George unexpectedly found himself on the received end of a bullet. While George lied dying on the floor as his synth Odi (Will Tudor) held his hand and recounted a lost memory of his wife.

In our finale recap, Leo finally gathered all the missing Synths together, linked their minds, and opened his father's hidden program. Together they were able to repair Max's lost consciousness after he suffered a major trauma. As Leo and the others separated, only Niska carried a copy of the program, the same one Beatrice/Karen warned carried too much responsibility for one person to carry.

In an interview with TV Line, the executive producers discussed how the original series brought back their Dr. Millican-esque character back from the dead, this time around as a grief-bot. Will the Dark Cty actor retunr in the same way in the sophomore season?

Executive producer Jonathan Brackley reveals, "Well, we're not going to rule anything out. [Laugh] Tonally, there is a question of whether that would work in the tone of our show, which is a bit different from the Swedish one. It's questionable whether William Hurt arriving in a box at the door would be right for the tone of our show. It was for theirs; it was great. It was a bit creepy, it was funny, it was fantastic and weird. We're not ruling anything out at this stage and that's all I can say on that at the moment."

Though Joe (Tom Goodman-Hill) and Laura (Katherine Parkinson) managed to fix their own relationship, executive producer Sam Vincent teases if viewers will see them again, "The big challenge for us is to create stories for [Season] 2 that bring the Hawkins family back into it. We can tell those ground-level, domestic, really emotional stories that we did in [Season] 1 but we can also tie them into the bigger story and the jeopardy-filled aspects of the plot... If we can do that, that's very satisfying: to see these very ordinary human beings with these very extraordinary machines. We think we've cracked a couple of good ways to really tie them back into the big story."

Humans returns for Season 2 on AMC.
