While at New York Comic-Con 2016, Comicbook.com had a chance to sit down with the Voltron showrunners, including writer Tim Hedrick. Hedrick was, of course, protective of any SPOILERS about season 2, but managed to tease us with enough to get us excited about what’s to come.
When Voltron: Legendary Defender season 2 begins, we find the five lion paladins broken up and scattered, unable to function as a team. Hedrick discussed that starting point, and how the premise will shape the type of episodes we see in season 2, allowing for more individual character exploration.
“We’ll get deeper into each individual character, while [still] being a team,” Hedrick said of their storytelling approach. “You can’t form Voltron without all five paladins, so that’s like the strength and weakness of the show: everyone’s got to be there, you know? So you’re never going to have that many solo episodes – but, we got to do that at the beginning of this season, when everybody’s split off. So we get to see some interesting pairing and some people doing their own things. But we’re only thirteen episodes in, so we have a lot of ground to cover.”
Following the first season cliffhanger, Team Voltron has been scattered throughout the universe in the aftermath of a perilous battle with Zarkon, Haggar and the evil Galra Empire. Working to bring the lions back together to form Voltron again, the Paladins’ plan to defeat the Galra once and for all takes them across the universe in search of new worlds and unexpected allies.
Find out if their plot to take down Zarkon succeeds when Season 2 of DreamWorks’ Voltron: Legendary Defender premieres on Netflix tomorrow — January 20, 2017.
