Stanford, Schull & Hampshire On ’12 Monkeys” ‘Mind-Blowing’ Season Two

Inspired by the 1995 film of the same name, “12 Monkeys” follows a time-traveler’s mission from the year 2043 to the present day to prevent a near-extinction-level event from occurring. With the help of virologist Dr. Cassie Railly (Amanda Schull) and brilliant but troubled mathematician Jennifer Goines (Emily Hampshire), James Cole (Aaron Stanford) strives to stop the release of a virus by the Army of the 12 Monkeys.

Following a successful first season, Syfy renewed the series for a second season back in March. The new batch of episodes, scheduled to arrive in April 2016, will see more of Jennifer Goines and follow Railly as she navigates the post-apocalyptic landscape of 2043.

During New York Comic Con, Stanford, Schull and Hampshire paid a visit to the CBR Tiki Room to chat with Jonah Weiland about “12 Monkeys,” what lies ahead for their characters and their own geek cred.
