'Outer Range' Season 2 Showrunner Weighs In on How Time Works in the Series

Charles Murray took over as showrunner for Prime Video's emOuter Range/em Season 2.

If you thought the Abbott family had a lot to contend with in Outer Range Season 1, the Josh Brolin-led sci-fi Western takes a leap of faith into the supernatural in Season 2. New aspects of the black hole and the mysterious mineral produced by it are explored, and character arcs are beginning to branch off in exciting ways, and it's all helmed by Season 2's new showrunner, Charles Murray , who served as an executive producer on the first season.

CHARLES MURRAY: It’s always a discussion. They were like, “Look, we have this great show and we kind of want to push the narrative.” When you look at a show like this, especially when it’s combining genres and things like that, and following so many different directions, you kind of have an open door to continue to follow what’s there and to also expand on things. So, with things like the mineral and what the hole was and what the hole could do, that was all open space to explore.

MURRAY: They said to me, at the beginning, “You can tell eight, you can tell seven. You can tell whatever you feel the story will fit.” Once we started breaking each episode, when we reached where we reached for seven, I was like, “I think we’ve gone as far as we should go for this one.” They were open.

MURRAY: Not much. We laid the groundwork very strongly. If I’m being honest, I think there were times when we may have rejiggered some stuff within an episode, but we never went, “Oh my god, we gotta do something different.” We pretty much stuck to what we wrote. MURRAY: I think he’s figuring it out as we watch him figure it out. I think when he takes that leap, he has an idea. The brain of an entrepreneur is to always see something different in the familiar. So, when he gets to that point where his entire life has pretty much been disassembled, I think his brain goes, “If this is what I think it is, maybe I can make something change from what I’m facing.” That’s what makes him take the risk that he takes. But I think he’s figuring it out as we see it.

MURRAY: It’s funny because I always think of the scene in Endgame when they’re discussing time travel , and Paul Rudd goes, “Wait, so Hot Tub Time Machine…?” It’s like, “No!” We have no full explanation of what time is and what it can do, and what that portal is. One of the things that I kept going back to with the room is that Cronos is mentioned.
