EW caught up with Papa Original himself, Sebastian Roche to talk The Originals and what Mikael has been up to.
I know there’s a four-month time jump at the start of season 2, so what has Mikael been up to this whole time? Has he just been stuck in the attic?
At the beginning of the season, he’s still stuck in the attic with Davina, but he’s trying to find ways, of course, to basically force her to free him, but you know of course she won’t do that. He really is trying to free himself from these chains because Mikael wants to roam the world and get to his revenge as soon as possible. It does start there and you’ll see what happens. It’s going to be quite wonderful what happens in the rest of the series. I have a feeling that the way the season 2 is going, it’s going to be a mixture of the sort of Gothic tale and Shakespearean tragedy, which I love, personally.
