But she wasnt working alone.

Kieran really, really misses Emma and wants Emma back.

Theyre all in different places.

And Noah and she are as thick as thieves.

What can you tease about how Emma and Audrey handle being a hero differently?

GANS:Well, its a very interesting thing because Emma left town basically so she fled from it.

Audreys kind of taking it on.

Dead and buried and burned.

But of course thats not true [laughs].

If you get too big, youve got to come down.

Have the events of season 1 brought the Lakewood Six together?

GANS:It has.

You had Noah and Audrey, and then you had Emma and her new friends.

This year theyre super bonded because they are The Lakewood Six.

Noah has given them a moniker of being the Lakewood Six.

They are like, Well, no.

A new character, who comes to town, is fixated on that.

Theyre tight and during the interim theyve gotten even tighter.

But very soon in the story of the season, very, very soon she realizes thats not possible.

What can you tease for the the motivations for this new killer.

Was this killer involved in the events of season 1?

Or involved as a direct result of season 1?

Yeah, youve added a video-streaming element, like inScream 4.

Whats going on there?

REGISTER:It captures certain moments.

GANS:They arent even aware of that they are being watched and/or streamed or captured.

Much like season 1, is the killer working in plain sight and weve already seen their face?

GANS:Yeah, well thats a very interesting question.

Youve seen their face, yes.

Theyre someone in our world, but its so hard to talk about.

Good questions [laughs].

This game, this season, is entirely psychological.

Should we expect not to learn the killers identity until the finale?

GANS:You should not expect to learn the identity of the killer until season 6 [laughs].

No Im kidding about that.

You will know by the end of the season who the killer is.

The when and the how is a little different than usual, its a little trickier.

REGISTER:Were doing a different kind of revelation and a different kind of continuation from that revelation.

How do you think Emma would react if she knew Audreys role in the events of season 1?

REGISTER:Yeah, thats one huge surprise.

So we play with exactly what surprise could be.

One of those surprises is definitely how Audrey was engaged.

You say one, so there might be more?

GANS:Yes, there are definitely more.
