Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Outer Range 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 (The Devil You Know), who served as an executive producer on the first season.

Murray is no stranger to the extraordinary, both in terms of sci-fi, with Marvel's Luke Cage and Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi under his producer's belt, but also with storytelling in this particular format. Not only does he wrangle the multiple storylines Season 1 cooked up, but he embraces them as opportunities to forge forward, calling the different directions "an open door to continue to follow what’s there and to also expand on things." After Royal Abbott (Brolin) drops that massive confession, and with both Perry Abbott (Tom Pelphrey) and Wayne Tillerson (Will Patton) traipsing off through time (and alternate timelines?), there's even more to speculate on as we look to Season 3.

In this conversation with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Murray discusses the writers' room board with all the ideas that mapped out Season 2 and beyond and addresses what he thinks about Perry's current situation and his ideas for where Wayne went. The showrunner also talks timelines and time travel, and how he and his writers will tackle Season 3 should Prime Video greenlight another season.
