DDS2_205_081213_0115.jpgIt nears ever closer with each passing day and we couldn’t be more excited about season 2 of Da Vinci’s Demons. Starz surprise action adventure series by writer and creator David S. Goyer (the man behind Man of Steel and the Dark Knight trilogy) finally got its season 2 premiere date today along with a brand new trailer. We saw the season’s first stunning trailer back at last year’s New York Comic Con, but with the freshly announced premiere date of March 22nd quickly approaching this new trailer has us already watering at the mouth for more of Tom Riley adventures as Leonardo Da Vinci. Season two of Da Vinci’s Demons finds Florence thrown into chaos in the wake of the Pazzi conspiracy and Leonardo must push the limits of his mind and body to defend the city against the forces of Rome. While the Medicis go to unthinkable lengths to deal with new threats, da Vinci continues on his quest to find the fabled Book of Leaves and uncover the secret history of his mother. He’ll come to realize that he has lethal competition in his quest — new enemies who may be even worse than the forces of Pope Sixtus. His search will take him to faraway lands and force him to reevaluate everything he knew about the world and his own history. I must say, the new trailer reminds me a little of the plot for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, but I can’t say that’s a bad thing. Riley’s co-stars in season 2 include Laura Haddock (The Inbetweeners Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy) who plays Lucrezia Donati; Elliot Cowan (Luther, Lost in Austen) who plays the de factor ruler of Florence, Lorenzo Medici; Lara Pulver (True Blood, Sherlock), who plays his wife Clarice Orsini; and Blake Ritson (Serena, Upstairs Downstairs) who plays the ruthless and unwavering Count Girolamo Riario, nephew of Pope Sixtus IV. Check out the awesome new trailer and start counting down the days until Da Vinci’s Demons season 2 hits Starz on Saturday, March 22nd, at 9PM!
