“12 Monkeys” Showrunner, Star Explore Sanity, ‘Unlimited Potential’ in Season Two

If you’ve only seen Terry Gilliam’s 2005 film “12 Monkeys,” you don’t actually know the full story of “12 Monkeys.” Instead of a time-traveling Bruce Willis trying to convince Madeline Stowe he’s not crazy and that the future is in very serious trouble, SyFy’s television take on the concept finds Aaron Stanford in the role of the time traveler James Cole who is tasked by Katarina Jones (Barbara Sukowa), the leader of Project Splinter, to travel into the past and align himself with Dr. Cassandra Railly (Amanda Schull) and unstable mathematician Jennifer Goines (Emily Hampshire) to alter the timeline and literally save the world.

While you might think the premise of the series and the movie are similar — and they are — beyond the pilot things diverge quite radically. As showrunner Terry Matalas explained when he and Sukowa spoke with CBR TV during New York Comic Con, around mid-season the series went “pretty crazy” and never looked back.

With the show’s second season arriving in April, Matalas and Sukowa discussed making their mark on the “12 Monkeys” story, why they are inspired by but not beholden to the original film, how the show has managed to craft a trio of stellar female characters and more.
