Q&A about Dollhouse season 2 – minor spoilers
I thought we’d try this. Basically, we take questions posed on Twitter and Livejournal about the second season, and either answer directly about what I know (without giving too much away) or ask other people to answer.
I don’t know if this format is useful or if we’ll do it again – let me know!
@Dowhead asks: “Did I hear something about Summer Glau on Dollhouse or am I just too hopeful?”
We say:
True! As announced here, Summer is joining Dollhouse as a reoccuring cast member in season two. She will be on your screen late October, and on set filming shortly. Her part is really cool and a bit different to how you’ve seen Summer before, so I hope you tune in.
@masonmiller asks: “Will it be too confusing for those who haven’t seen Epitaph One?”
We say:
Season two episode one makes an effort to reintroduce the core concept of Epitaph One (that society collapsed and they’re looking for Safe Haven, ultimately). That said, I think it helps if you’ve seen the episode to orientate things personally. But it’s not essential.
@Treehouse312 asks: “Will November be back at all? Love November/Mellie!”
We say:
Maybe! Which means: yes. Which I’m super excited about because, hello, it’s Miracle Laurie!
@TylerGoss asks: “Do we know as far as the timeline goes, where season two is starting?”
We say:
Yep. 3 months after Alpha took Echo in 1×12, “Omega”.
@cpduffy asks: “..How do you see the chances of being picked up for the back half of season 2?”
We say:
The only way to answer is to ask one of the FOX execs. They say – if the show can average around where season one pegged, they will consider the ‘back 9′. Which would bring a full 22 episode season two. My advice? Don’t worry about it. Ratings are a strange beast, and despite everybody saying the show was cancelled before it even began, well, here we are.
@EricLAA says: “Summer in the fall for sure, she is gorgeous and so very talented. Loved her in Fire Fly and Sarah Connor chronicles”.
We say:
There’s not really a question in that! But I agree.
@Jen_McLean asks: “All I really want to know is… More Alan Tudyk? Possibly?”
We say:
Possibly indeed! Somebody told me recently we haven’t seen the last of Alpha. The impact of ‘Super Echo’ certainly isn’t forgotten either.
Ben asks: “What’s the most exciting thing you’ve heard about season two?”
We say:
Everything. I remember during the first season thinking “…a pop star episode? Oh noes”. (Because apparently I think like a lolcat). This season is different – every idea I’ve heard thrown around (and those which I know have stuck) has been twisted and great. I think there’s a much better grasp of both what the show is from the writers and network, and also what it can be.
And, seriously: Alexis Denisof.

Absolutely every interview I've read/heard the cast and crew seem much more focussed and upbeat than they did at least during the early production of season 1.
Where can i find the unaired episode 13?
Mija, it is on the DVD. Which is available in the USA now, and shortly the UK and Australia.
Oh, it's also on iTunes and Amazon VOD.
Hey Kevin I was wondering if there was any news on a Halloween episode? Since they havent release any info on the Oct 30th episode. I ask because they could actually do something really wonderful since Halloween and the Dollhouse have alot in common, people pretending to be something there really not, etc
The name of the fifth episode (presumably the one airing on Oct 30th) will be "The Public Eye". Doesn't sound very Halloween-y to me, and I don't know if they knew which episode is going to air when when they wrote it.
No, wait, that's wrong. "The Public Eye" is on Oct 23, I got that mixed up. 2×06 will be on Oct 30. (Heh, Buffy 2×06 was "Halloween"
As a huge buffy, angel, firefly, serenity and tru calling fan I am praying dollhouse does not get cancelled.
It is a excellent concept with great writing and casting, I just bought the first season on DVD and WOW getting to rewatch every episode also the brilliant unaired episode rocked.
im looking forward to season 2 my fave charcters were echo, mellie, adele and topher. i cant wait to see summer glau in the show she is wonderful.
Good Luck to the cast and crew of Dollhouse please please make it for oh lets say 7 seasons at least!!
