"We have tried to take an impressionistic, rather than figurative, approach to a narrative which we hope more accurately portrays the spirit of an extraordinary time in history," he said.
The executive producer teased that James Delaney (Hardy) will continue exploring more realities as he brings his band to a whole new world next season.
Scott also revealed that season 2 will feature more adventures with Delaney and the league of the damned; and that the series will be as dark and dirty as it was in the previous season.
Starring Hardy, Oona Chaplin, Jonathan Pryce, Jefferson Hall, Jessie Buckley, Stephen Graham, Michael Kelly, David Hayman, Tom Hollander, Franka Potente, Jason Watkins, Edward Hogg, Leo Bill, Richard Dixon, Christopher Fairbank, Mark Gatiss, Nicholas Woodeson, Robert Parker and Lucian Msamati, "Taboo" started airing in January in Britain and the United States and has had a huge following since then.
The series tells the story of Delaney who lived in 1814 and was presumed to be dead. Fourteen years later, he traveled from Africa to London to take over the shipping empire of his dead father. "Taboo" has a generally dark plot and features a lot of murder and betrayal.
Meanwhile, season 2 will include eight episodes and will be produced by Hardy Son & Baker for BBC One and FX. FX has yet to announce when the new season will premiere.
