00:00If I told you to design me an underground city that could safely weather anything from a nuclear blast to
00:06environmental catastrophe, that felt like any city up here, what would you say?
00:14What Dan Fogelman has done with regards to bringing paradise to life has been extraordinary.
00:27Build me my city!
00:31I had this idea for the show like 10 years ago, I started thinking about a secret service agent and
00:36a president, and how far would you go to protect your own when everything falls apart.
00:43Season 1 was about a murder that we solved, but the big discovery we had is a volcano erupted and
00:49the world kind of came to an end.
00:51People need to know that there are survivors.
00:55Moving into Season 2, we wanted the audience to experience what it was like outside the bunker.
01:01I love being a part of something that takes a chance, thought-provoking.
01:05But it's also rich with character.
01:08And Dan has thrown out the rule book.
01:10I'm really excited for people to meet new characters outside the bunker.
01:14It must have been hard on your own.
01:16I've been alone before.
01:17So much of this show is about survival.
01:20I thought it was very honest and real and raw.
01:23Season 2, the scale is much bigger.
01:27Every word written on the page feels like a sparring match, it feels like a game of chess, and we
01:33start in one place, and no one knows where it's gonna end.
01:38Your wife is alive out there.
01:39My name is Terry Rogers Collins.
01:42I'm searching for my husband.
01:43There's a new sense of hope that Xavier is entering into Season 2 that he didn't have in Season 1.
01:50Now we're out in a grittier world where it's gonna get more and more out of control.
01:53We don't have much time.
01:56I'm going somewhere safe.
01:58Do you want to come with me?
02:06The question will be what, if anything, can they do to survive?
02:11The show becomes much more vast, and at the same time, more intimate.
02:16I didn't trust people before the world ended.
02:19They were just people, Annie.
02:20We're all capable of great change, great love, of great promise.
02:26Dan's full of surprises.
02:28Anything can exist.
02:31There's something there that nobody knows about.
02:34It just keeps you asking questions.
02:36The stakes are as high as they can be.
02:44Then we're just about the bunker.
