The Hunting Party cast spoke with The Direct as part of a press roundtable at WonderCon.
The explosion sets dozens of killers free, changed in surprising ways by their incarceration but just as deadly.
Josh McKenzie: We have, like, always fantasized about having one.
Obviously, procedurally, we have a killer every week, right?
But having one killer that creates an arc..?
Because at the moment, the season arc is the conspiracy.
[Maybe the arch-nemisis] would be a personification of the Pit?
Melissa Roxburgh: I want to say it’s another profiler of some kind.
Josh McKenzie: He uses his talents for bad.
Melissa Roxburgh: I don’t know what that would look like.
I really want to think about this one.
What makes a person a serial killer?
What were they doing in the Pit?
What does that have to do with Shane?
All of these things are kind of building to a certain fulcrum point for him of self-discovery.
Jake Coburn: I completely agree.
And so wanting to have more moments that are just character moments.
And then he looks over, and Shane’s asleep…
JJ Bailey: He’s baring his soul.
And from the feedback we’ve gotten so far, people really liked it.
He feels like this guy is coming at him.
I’m excited for people to see what that’s about.
And I’d also really like to see us dive into what the experiments that were being done.
I’d almost like to see us discover that what was being done to them was pretty monstrous.
How is it right to solve a murder with a murder, or whatever?
So, yeah, I don’t know.
Because every monster was made, you know, so I’d like to dive in.
Patrick Sabongui: One of the things I love about Jacob is his moral compass.
You know what I mean?
But it’s exactly that, this conflict that he’s constantly in between his values and the operation.
Has he even been there?
Has he been present?
Has he been absent?
That’s kind of where we feel like the sweet spot is.
And I’ll say we have some third rails on the show that we won’t do.
A killer who goes after kids is one; we both have young kids.
So we stay away from that.
Always a little bit left of center, we always want our killers to feel a little bit off.
I think that’s key for us.
Because for him, it was a revelation.
So he’s almost like proselytizing.
And that should feel a little off, right?
But still, you’ve got the option to wrap your head
