Eureka Returns Soon For Season 2

For our fans who have voiced some concern over if the sleeper hit “Eureka” would be returning for a second season, we have good news for you. Yes! “Eureka” will be returning to the SCI FI Channel and Season Two is currently in production.

Tony award nominee Joe Morton (”Brother From Another Planet,” “Terminator 2: Judgment Day”), one of the stars in the ensemble cast on the show, said in a recent interview that this next season will really shake things up and turn everything upside down.

“I can only give you a little sense of what we’re going to see in season two,” Morton told SCI FI Wire. “But basically things are going to be sort of turned on their head, lots of changes, lots of redirection of things that are very, very exciting.”

Eureka stars Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Jordan Hinson, Ed Quinn, Debrah Farentino, Matt Frewer and Morton in this SF dramedy about a secret small Oregan town that is home to the nation’s foremost scientific geniuses and some of the quirkiest characters on the planet.

I really enjoyed season one.  Quirky and different.  Looking forward to season 2!

Same here.. you know I almost got the Post Production Supervisor job on season two of Eureka. Had and interview but they wanted someone with more "scripted" experience. I was really close.

That would have been really cool Kenny.  You would have rocked that show.

Thanks Rick.. one day I'll get a really cool show to work on.

Don't put yourself down Kenny, I'm sure you have done some really cool stuff. As for Eureka? Good news, over here its called "A Town called Eureka" I hope they show the second season over here.

yes -- looking forward to season 2.  Good to see Morton will be returning. 

Changes Due For Eureka Couple

Big changes are in store for Allison Blake (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) and her ex-husband, Nathan Stark (Ed Quinn), on the upcoming new season of SCI FI Channel's original series Eurekaâ€"including (spoiler ahead!) possibly a rekindled romance? Richardson-Whitfield and Quinn talked at a press preview in Pasadena, Calif., over the weekend about the upheaval in store for their characters on the show, which returns with new episodes on July 10.

"Last year we ... ended where Nathan's character was getting a little obsessed with the Artifact," Richardson-Whitfield said. "At the end, there was a huge explosion, and because of that he loses his job, and I take over as the head of Global Dynamics." As a result, Stark returns to his roots as a scientist, she added. "Which sort of draws us even closer, because I start seeing the man I fell in love with instead of the sort of power-hungry head of Global. ... What does that mean for Allison? When you become the head, ... am I going to turn into that [power-hungry type]? What happens to her when she has that much power and has to deal with that much responsibility?"

As for Stark, Quinn said: "It seemed a bit jarring right off the bat to suddenly lose my job, and not just lose my job, but then lose my job to my estranged wife and [lose] all my secrets. And what's fascinating is, what you would think is that would allow Allison and Jack Carter [Colin Ferguson] to become closer and she and I would become estranged. The opposite happens. She and I, Allison and Stark, become even closer. We rekindle the relationship. I rekindle my relationship with her son, Kevin, who also becomes a very integral part of the show this season. ... Her new position puts a strain on Carter and Allison's relationship."

There's also upheaval in store for Carter when his ex-wife comes to town. But that's another story.

Man I cannot wait until July 10!!  I hope they begin showing the reruns again because I had pretty much forgotten the end of Season 1...it would be good to re-familiarize myself again.  That is the bad thing about 8-12 months between new shows.

I was thinking the same thing when I read the article.. I was like.. what happen at the end of the first season. I'm sure they will rerun them just to refresh our memory.

I enjoyed the first season.  Like all the characters and yes - I too have forgotten some of the storylines.   Its cute, a bit quirky and fun.  The characters play off each other well.   Not a big fan of Nathan -- but I think he is merely a pawn and doesn't like his job sometimes.  Looking forward to the summer season.

I really liked this show, although I didn't see it when it orignally aired. Sci-Fi channel had a marathon and that's when I DVR'd 'em and watched them. Very cool stuff, I am really looking forward to the summer season on SCI-FI!

Looking forward to the show returning.  I agree with Mark above, it's a fun and quirky type show.  Great for the summer time season.

Just got done watching the first episode of the second season.. I forgot how much I enjoy this series... great characters and the story picks up right where the first season ended. I am looking forward to watching more of this really cool series.

Also did you see the preview of BSG (2 hour movie).. looked very cool

And also the commercial for Tin Man ( looks really cool )

Oh and they showed a preview for Flash Gordan... looks good

Alot of cool stuff coming up on Sci Fi.

This is cuurently sitting on my DVR and I cannot wait to watch this tonight.

OK...finally watched last night.  Great show.  Glad to see that it hasn't lost anything.  Tha humor is still there and it still mixes well with the drama.   I am not real crazy about Henry starting down the path to "badness" but it should make for some great stories. 

Hey Guys and Gals.. anyone else enjoying Eureka's second season as much as I am? We've had a handful of episodes so far and they have been a lot of fun. I'm glad to see them keeping things fresh and new in there second season. We get more and more character development as the season progresses. I've been reallying enjoying my summer of sci fi with Eureka, Kyle XY and 4400.

My husband, as I've mentioned on numerous occasions, is a non-geek jock. HE LOVES this show...it's his favorite one on TV right now. I think it's entertaining, and its fun, but its not my favorite.

I think David likes the contrast between the Sheriff and the towns people...and the humor of course. He enjoys movies like Hot Shots, so I consider this show to be a step up for him.  :D

I really like the talking bunker and the deputy. Max Headrum is awesome. Did anyone watch that show back in the 80's other than me?  Oh and the intro to Eureka is very creative...love the graphics and the music.

No Jen....as a matter of fact when I watched the series premiere last year the first thing I said to my wife when he on screen was "Hey look, it's Max Headroom"

It is also one of my favorite shows on TV right.  My wife and I rarely like the same shows but this is one we definitely agree on.  I love the characters and their interaction.  Nathan vs Carter is especially funny and Fargo is just a hoot.
