The Musketeers Series 2: ‘A Deeper and Darker vibe’ Promises Adrian Hodges

I thought the first series of The Musketeers was a show that transported me back to some of those old school swashbucklers I used to love as a kid. The cast was brilliant with bags of chemistry between them, the sets suitably lush, the soundtrack stirring and the action thrilling so I was not surprised when the show was renewed.

Yesterday I managed to squeeze a few words out of the show’s creator Adrian Hodges on what fans could expect from series 2.

“The second season is well underway. Similar tone but a deeper and darker vibe this time, with one serial story running through the series. We’ll still have a story of the week and guest stars, but I think it will feel more of a single piece and we’re picking up a lot of stories and themes we started in the first series.”

Although I enjoyed the standalone elements of the first series, which introduced us to the Musketeers and their world I think the idea of one overarching plot  will help to give the second series a nice focus.  It will also be interesting to see how the show develops now Peter Capaldi has departed for the big police box in the sky. Having Marc Warren in the mix as the dodgy Comte De Rochefort should make for some interesting times ahead for the sword and musket wielding quartet.

In the next week or so I will be sitting down with Adrian to talk about the show so if you have any question then stick them in the comments below and I may pitch some of them to Adrian.
