With the news that season three is in the works, and season two is coming our way in the autumn it’s timely that Giancarlo Esposito – Moff Gideon no less – should chat with Variety about his time on the show, and a tiny glimpse of what’s in store for season 2.

Bring it on, we cannot wait. Season 1 is currently rolling out on Disney Plus in the UK and we cover Chapter 6 The Prisoner on tomorrows episode of Making Tracks.
