Throughout the roundtable interview, the Akils spoke about the following for Season 2:

-What we can expect from the first four episodes, which will be under a new book title

-The fleshing out of the Outsiders group

-Whether or not they have the whole series mapped out or if they take one season at a time

-Whether or not Grace Choi will have powers or not
