were reticent to reveal much about the anticipated follow-up at the Television Critics Assn. summer press tour Thursday.
The execs refused to confirm rumors that the new season will feature one female and two male leads, but said that the two scripts they’ve read for season two so far are “more exciting” than season one’s installments.
