The actor also gave a great deal of credit to series creator John Logan, who also wrote the show. Hartnett called Logan "endlessly engaging" and enjoys working with him. "It's always surprising to pick up John's script," said Hartnett, "He's looking to surprise the audience."

The actors received the season scripts this coming week and Hartnett assured fans that that the cast will pretty much be getting most of the season when those scripts come in.

"I had kind of a free year…" he joked of his time during the show's first season, noting that his character didn't have much to do in early episodes, "So next season hopefully I'll be on set a little bit more."
