Marshals Showrunner: Tom Weaver Won't Appear in Season 2
Spencer Hudnut says Tom Weaver stays offscreen in Season 2, though his impact will still be felt and he could return later.
Spencer Hudnut, showrunner of Marshals, said Tom Weaver will not appear onscreen in Season 2, according to comingsoon.net. Hudnut said audiences will still feel Weaver's impact across the season, and he does not expect the character to return onscreen during it.
Hudnut said the writers are building a collection of villains they can revisit, and that Weaver could become an interesting character for Kayce Dutton to Encounter again later.
Weaver's earlier storyline put Kayce in danger after Weaver attempted to take East Camp and tried to shoot him. Kayce escaped and rescued his son, while Weaver ended up behind bars.
Hudnut also defended the decision to kill off Dolly, who was killed in the premiere.
What the writers are planning
The showrunner framed Weaver's absence as a deliberate choice rather than a closed door, saying the writers want a roster of antagonists they can bring back when the story calls for it.
