“The authenticity that Virginia brings to the story we’re telling in TURN: Washington’s Spies has been an enormous part of the series,” said executive producer Barry Josephson.  “We’re thrilled to be back for season two and honored that Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William & Mary agreed to allow us access to these amazingly beautiful and magnificently preserved historical buildings.”

Based on the Alexander Rose novel Washington’s Spies and adapted for television by Craig Silverstein (Nikita), TURN: Washington’s Spies follows New York farmer Abe Woodhull (Jamie Bell) as he brings together a group of childhood friends that will turn the tide of the Revolutionary War. Known as the Culper Ring, the group turned against both family and the king for a cause they believed in – helping George Washington win the Revolutionary War and freeing the United States from the British. In addition to Bell, TURN: Washington’s Spies stars Seth Numrich (Gravity), Heather Lind (Boardwalk Empire), Daniel Henshall (The Babadook), Burn Gorman (The Dark Knight Rises), and Angus Macfayden (Braveheart).

Joining the second season of TURN: Washington’s Spies are Lost Girl alum Ksenia Solo, who will play urban sophisticate Peggy Shippen, and Alexander Rose, who boards the show’s writing staff after serving as a consultant for season one.

The second season of TURN: Washington’s Spies is set to premiere next spring on AMC.

Based on the Alexander Rose book Washington’s Spies and adapted for television by Craig Silverstein (Nikita), TURN: Washington’s Spies tells the story of New York farmer Abe Woodhull (Jamie Bell) as he brings together what would become The Culper Ring, a group of childhood friends whose espionage turns the tide in the Revolutionary War. The series also stars Seth Numrich (Gravity), Heather Lind (Boardwalk Empire), Daniel Henshall (The Babadook), Burn Gorman (The Dark Knight Rises), and Angus Macfayden (Braveheart).

In addition to her role on the Syfy/Showcase drama, Solo has appeared on the likes of Life Unexpected, Nikita, and Moonlight. It’s as yet unclear whether she’ll be returning for the final season of Lost Girl, though it seems unlikely that she’ll be appearing in the first of two episode batches slated to conclude the supernatural series after five seasons.

The second season of TURN: Washington’s Spies is slated to premiere in spring 2015 on AMC. The first season is currently being replayed on Saturdays alongside new episodes of Hell on Wheels.

Will you be watching the second season of TURN? Do you think we’ll see Kenzi again on Lost Girl, given that Solo has a full-time gig now? Who else would you like to see join the cast?
