Medium Gets High-Concept
René Echevarria, creator and executive producer of NBC's Medium, told SCI FI Wire there are some high-concept episodes "coming out of the box." "The challenge for me is that I'd like to see a little bit more continuing storylines," Echevarria said in an interview. "One thing we're aware of: The first season was very much about Allison figuring out how this thing works."
Now that Allison (Patricia Arquette) understands her powers better, she still has to try to strike a balance between work and her family, Echevarria said. And her husband, Joe (Jake Weber), will be "continuing to deal with the fact that he married a witch," he said with a laugh. "We just want to be true to the reality of that."
In last season's cliffhanger, Capt. Kenneth Push (Arliss Howard) put his life in jeopardy to try to stop a serial killer. As season two kicks off, look for the completion of that story. Howard has also been tapped to direct an episode later in the season.
According to Echevarria, this season Allison will dream that she's in a mental asylum, and there will also be a 3-D episode. There's also "a show where Allison wakes up, and it starts with a musical number. And Allison is singing 'I Will Survive,'" he said with a laugh. "She wakes up from sort of a fantasy dream, and the song's still playing in her head, and she can't make it go away. The song is literally stuck in her head. She's like, 'Joe, you don't ... ' He says, 'Yeah, I've had that happen.' She yells, 'You don't understand! I can't hear you!'"
And look for baby Marie to finally get her first scripted line of dialogue. Season two of Medium premieres Sept. 19 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. NBC is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.
