“Mitch is much more involved in this one because he’s a much bigger part of this empire,” Hedlund said.

And so now it’s much more of an all-for-one, one-for-all kind of journey for all of them, which I think is fun to watch. They’re all in it together. While in the first season they were trying to find out if they could still trust everyone.”
