TV Line:
A pair of Banshee actors will find their names a little higher on the call sheet in Season 3.
The Cinemax hit has handed series-regular promotions to Geno Segers and Afton Williamson, TVLine has learned exclusively.
Segers and Williamson joined Banshee in Season 2 as recurring guest stars, the former as vengeance-seeking Native American gang leader Chayton Littlestone and the latter as ADA Alison Medding.
Production on Season 3, slated to premiere in early 2015, is currently underway.
The Koalition spoke with Geno Segers about NBC's Perfect Harmony, a crazy conspiracy theory connecting Banshee to Perfect Harmony (it involves the houseboat) and more.
AVClub: Did the man who became Lucas Hood deserve to walk out of Banshee alive? That’s the question I’ve been chewing on in the wake of “Requiem,” an episode that ended with a surprisingly optimistic bent for this oft bleak and brutal show. For an episode named after a funeral dirge and a series that’s named after an Irish spirit whose scream is a portent of death, it’s almost remarkable that Hood would be able to make his way to the end. Sugar even says as much to him as they share their final bourbon, and Hood can’t find a single point of disagreement with that. And yet he does, and our final glimpse of the man is not his broken body but riding out of town, on the very same bike he rode in on.
AVClub: As it’s aged, Banshee has indulged itself in its episode titles in a way that few other shows on television permit themselves. Rather than cryptic references or hidden reveals, Banshee likes to take memorable bits of dialogue and throw that at the front: “You Can’t Hide From The Dead.“All The Wisdom I Got Left.” “Even God Doesn’t Know What To Make Of You.” “A Little Late To Grow A Pair.” (“Bloodletting” was called “Innocent Might Be A Bit Of A Stretch” until the last minute, an annoying choice for someone who writes his reviews in advance.) Those titles usually touch on themes of the episode or the series as a whole, trading brevity for an odd sort of poetry as they all stack up.
Well, I swore I wouldn't get hooked on any other show especially on cable but here I am telling you that this show will hook you in. I had not watched it and all I had to do was watch one episode and I was sold and went back to catch up. The characters are so complex and their stories complicated in so many ways that make it dangerous and exciting. I can't wait for it to come back.
