“In the second episode a new character is introduced, and the audience will be delighted,” showrunner Shane Brennan told TVLine on Friday, before the casting of Mrs. Deeks was announced at EW.com. “When this person appears, you’re going to go, ‘Oh my God, this is so much fun!'”
What’s more, it promises to shed some light on the mop-topped lawman. “It’s a very revealing moment for [Deeks],” Brennan added. “Definitely watch Episode 2!”
