Fans of the first season will notice differences right away.
New showrunner Ken Biller said he and Bean worked hard to make Odum and Petrovich distinct characters.
The new configs also bring a wealth of new characters.

Although Bean is still the shows clear protagonist, his costars also get chances to shine.
I think this year with Kens help and the kind of revamp, we had time to explore that.
It makes my job easier because Ive got conflicting emotions and interactions with these characters.

This seasons episodes, in fact, have a naming scheme designed to highlight the vibrant supporting cast.
Mondays premiere, for example, is titled The Legend of Dmitry Petrovich.
Next week its The Legend of Curtis Ballard.

Its not just spies.
The legends of the title of season 1 were the different personas Sean Beans character took on.
The legends of the title this year is about who are all these other people?
Biller told EW this fall.
Who are they, really and who do they pretend to be in real life?
Its a very, very different, fresh approach to the material, and I think more novelistic.
