It takes place 15 months after the end of Season 1 in 1985.
Yeah, the last time I saw him on a TV series was on Boardwalk Empire. He's an incredible actor, I'm looking forward to seeing him on this series.Woah. I haven't seen that guy in a while. It's funny since I was thinking about him recently, after I started re-watching Six Feet Under.
Aleksa Palladino and Mark OBrien have joined the second season of AMCs Halt and Catch Fire as a series regular and recurring character, respectively, the cabler announced Thursday.
Palladino (Boardwalk Empire) will play well-traveled and highly educated freelance journalist Sara Wheeler, who comes from a wealthy background, but is self-reliant and responsible. Due to past experiences, Sara is skeptical of relationships, but after reconnecting with Joe (Lee Pace), whom she first met back in college, the couple shares a real, deep connection.
OBrien, who starred in the CBCs series The Republic of Doyle, has been cast as Tom Rendon, an IT department head at a law firm who is an early adapter of Camerons (Mackenzie Davis) computer startup company, Mutiny, and shares her same brilliance and passion for gaming. His character is described as having a conservative exterior but a strong hacker ethos that may rival Camerons.
Season 2 of the computer-age period drama picks up over a year after the freshman finale left off, starting up in March 1985.
Earlier this year, showrunner Jonathan Lisco commented on changes to expect in the new episodes: This season is going to be a bit more grounded and bit more contained. Those time jumps will be a little bit less befuddling were certainly looking at pacing for season two.
Halt and Catch Fire also stars Scoot McNairy, Kerry Bishé and Toby Huss.

Sorry for the bump, but what was the consensus on season 1? Worth it?
I'm hoping ratings pick up for S2.
Airing on Mondays will give it a better chance at success due to lowered competition and also lower expectations from AMC.
That's true. Sundays are far too competitive now, and every new show that debuts have so much pressure on them. BCS has turned out well on Mondays, and Turn might be better off now. I think HCF can really find itself on Monday, but I still sorta feel that it's a Sunday show, if that makes sense.
waaiit
I got confusled
Turn is airing on Mondays and Halt and Catch Fire is still TBA (may be Sundays, may be Mondays)
oops XI
Yeah, the first episode is really great, but it sorta struggles for a bit after that. Halfway through, it picks up steam, and the last three episodes are good stuff. It's a solid series, and I think the second season will be really great.
I'm hoping ratings pick up for S2. With on-demand available now, and Netflix streaming coming in April, it's a great time to pick up the series.
AMC announced on Thursday that the series, which stars Lee Pace as a champion of the personal computerrevolution, will return on Sunday, May 31 at 10/9c, and pick up the action in early 1985, as the Internet then just a disruptive idea begins to take shape.
Oh fuck, that's a lot earlier than I expected. Cannot wait!
I just finished the first season. The pilot was amazing, but it took me a long time to get through the next few episodes which were not amazing but not bad either, however the second part of the season was fantastic. I loved theconvention episode.
However there is one thing I did not understand in the last episode:Why did Joe steal the truck and burned it? And why did he go camping?
Since this was bumped: Where can I get the first season with English subtitles/SfD/HH digitally? Last I checked, iTunes, PSN, et. al. didn't do that sort of thing. :/
Here's the S2 teaser they had during TWD. It was pretty neat.

Awesome. They are planning this to follow Mad Men, cool.

Walking Dead --> Mad Men --> Halt And Catch Fire --> Fear The Walking Dead --> The Walking Dead
Solid Sunday lineup for AMC out to next March.
I'm super worried about HCF, though. I hope it'll get a big Netflix in time for its premiere.
It's now live on Netflix. Can a mod update the thread title?
I find this post curious.Sorry for the bump, but what was the consensus on season 1? Worth it?
Yeah, not too bad. Turn, Halt, and Hell are lower-tier but I'm excited about most of the rest. Hoping they're back on the upswing where they belong, reclaiming their place on the FX/HBO podium.Here's my speculative AMC 2015 schedule:
Winter/early spring:
Sun - The Walking Dead
Mon - Better Call Saul
Spring:
Sun - Mad Men
Mon - Turn: Washington's Spies
Early summer:
Sun - Halt and Catch Fire
Mon - Humans (might be Saturday)
Late summer:
Sat - Hell on Wheels
Sun - Fear the Walking Dead
Fall:
Sun - The Walking Dead
Mon - Enter the Badlands (might be Saturday)
Their lineup is looking really solid this year.
