The show creator further teased that season 2 will feature some of the Barons and factions that were first introduced in the previous installment. In the new season, the Barons will get together in a conclave to settle a dispute, and this is where fans will catch a glimpse of them again. He said fans will get to know some of the Barons better in season 2 and see how politics and "the bigger political machinations of the world" work more in the story.
As for its cast, it was previously confirmed that Nick Frost had been tapped to portray an important role in the upcoming season. According to Gough, Frost will play Bajie, a con-man and part hustler whom Sunny (Daniel Wu) will meet in the outline territories.
"I think Nick's been a great addition to the cast, and I think he's brought humor into the world as well, which I think is... When we were looking at season one the thing that we thought the show need was definitely more humor 'cause you don't want to become yet another self-serious cable drama," Gough said of Nick's character.
"Into the Badlands" season 2 airs Sundays at 10 p.m. EDT on AMC.
