“Shooting in Barbados in season 2 truly spread out some ideas from folks that we met and stories that we heard, and then it dovetailed into the mythology that we had for the adventure story this season,” he told Entertainment Weekly earlier this month. “It explores an earlier pocket of historical past than the Antebellum stuff that was tied to the mythology of the Royal Merchant Gold, and it ties again into different cultures from South America. It was impressed by us being in Barbados and finding out concerning the culture there and the lower Caribbean and the West Indies. The new dangerous guy and the culture that we explore are in that part of the arena and it’s a bit of older part of history that we’re synthesizing.”
