Watch the video interview with Robert Patrick and EP Nicholas Wootton:
Here are a few highlights:
- There will be a lot of action and adventure, as well as character stuff, in the 24.5 episode season 2.
- “You’re going to see how they are after that,” Patrick previewed of Walter and Gallo’s relationship following the end of season 1.
- You’ll also see how they deal with Gallo’s job situation.
- Gallo is becoming fond of each of the members of the “Scorpion” team.
- Wootton teased that they’ll be partnering up the characters in ways they didn’t in season 1. For example, in the 90-minute episode after the Supergirl premiere, Gallo and Paige will be partnered up.
- “There’s two sides to every one of these episodes,” the EP explained. “They’re brilliant as problem-solvers and then they’re completely un-brilliant socially and interpersonally and they’re so bad at that that there’s infinite ways to go with both.” They’ll be exploring both of those sides in season 2.
- There will be development in every relationship on the show, with the EP explaining that they’re exploring, “How does the brilliant, reserved, pulled-back, sort of antisocial mind deal with love?”
Scorpion season 2 premieres Monday, September 21 at 9pm on CBS.

If it’s on TV — especially if it’s a procedural or superhero show — chances are Meredith watches it. She has a love for all things fiction, starting from a young age with ER and The X-Files on the small screen and the Nancy Drew books. Arrow kicked off the Arrowverse and her true passion for all things heroes. She’s enjoyed getting into the minds of serial killers since Criminal Minds, so it should be no surprise that her latest obsession is Prodigal Son.
