Resurrection Season 2 Release Date And Spoilers: 'Game Of Thrones' Michelle Fairley Will Play "Mother In Law From Hell" [PHOTO]

The ABC drama "Resurrection" will return for Season 2 this fall, here are all the spoilers, teasers, and inside info currently available.

Executive producer Aaron Zelman teased there will be a slight time jump in the Season 2 premiere. "There's a very surprising way into Season 2," Zelman says. "We won't open right at the end of Season 1. We come in about a week later. Things have happened in town that you'll get a surprising explanation for that will take things in a darker direction for Season 2."

They also addressed fears that they don't already have an answered planned for the why people are coming back (a la "Lost") "The fear is that we don't know and are stringing you along," executive producer Michelle Fazekas says. "But there is an answer. The show is not only about the answer, about why this is happening. It's about these characters and how this affects them."

"Michelle Fairley from '24' will play Jacob's grandmother and Henry's mother for the whole season," Fazekas says. "She's the mother-in-law from hell, literally," Zelman adds.

"A big part of the mother of Henry and Fred coming back is what she reveals," Zelman says. "When the returned come back they tend to have secrets. Her secrets have to do with the family business and what that secret entails uncovers a big part about the returned phenomenon itself."

"There's clearly a connection between them. There's clearly sparkles beneath the surface," Devin Kelley says when talking about Bellamy and Maggie's relationship. "But the dead are coming back to life so they kind of have bigger issues to deal with. But in Season 2 they get closer. Maggie might have a house guest for a while and it might be this guy over here to my right [meaning Epps]." 

Fazekas elaborates a little more. "He's [The sheriff] at his lowest point in the first episode of the second season," she says. "He's just essentially betrayed the Langston family and his daughter. But when his mother returns, that gives an entirely new spin on things. He has to deal with the ramifications of what he's done. He's involved in uncovering the season-long mystery that his family and his mother is wrapped up in as well."

 "We have a character who is an elegant woman," Fazekas says. "Bellamy loses his job and gets a new one, and the elegant woman is his new boss." Rachel's pregnancy is also a big deal "That plays a huge part in the second season," Zelman says.

Fazekas explains that the explanation for why Rachel is pregnant is rooted in the mythology of the show. "You come back, you return, how you were when you died," Fazekas says. "She was pregnant when she died so she's pregnant now."

Another recently revealed spoiler is that Agent Bellamy is also one of the returned! But somehow he is different than the others, and came back earlier than the others. 

Much of season 2 is going to revolve around Bellamy trying to seek as many answers

"When the returned come back, they return with secrets," said Zelman. "Fred's mother's secret will be about the family business so to speak."

"Resurrection" Season 2 premieres Sunday, Sept. 28 on ABC.
