Dollhouse, one of the most morally depraved and exciting shows on TV, returns in exactly one month, and to get you ready, we’ve chatted up the stars.
The cast promises that season two delivers all the babes-in-bondage and zombie-mind-control weirdness you’d expect, plus a new look that may change the way you see the story forever.
Read on to find out what’s different and why…

IGN was among a group of journalists who visited the set of Dollhouse on Friday, and Joss Whedon’s greeting to us said it all: “Welcome to the biggest surprise of my career – our Season 2.”
Few expected the low-rated series to be renewed, and Whedon made it clear he had also been extremely pessimistic, noting, “I really didn’t expect to be sitting here again for a while. This has been like skiing in a cartoon where you go up the mountain and down the mountain and up and down. Right now we are pretty high up on it because we realized that we were actually going to have to work for a living this summer.” Whedon noted that when he heard FOX was not going to air the episode “Epitaph One”, he was sure that meant they were cancelled.
However, once they found out a Season 2 was actually happening, “The first thing I did was get together with my writers and start talking about what possibilities there were. Particularly after we had made an incredibly strange sort of book end to the show with ‘Epitaph One.’ And what we discovered was that the possibilities were entirely limitless and that we had more excitement and enthusiasm about the show than we did by a country mile last year because we are in it now. Before it was an idea and it was an idea that we had a lot of trouble defining and America got to watch that. And now we feel like it is defined, the network understands what it is we understand what it is we know what our cast is capable of which is wonders. And so we came in just with the most excitement and we been having a great deal of fun ever since.”

The Fox network may be known as the network that celebrates instant hits and tosses aside those that don’t get quick followings by audience, but it had to approach “Dollhouse” a little differently last spring.
The series was created by Joss Whedon, the man who had a few years back brought them “Firefly,” which they never really gave a chance, and has since become a cult hit. And if the plug was pulled too early on “Dollhouse,” they may lose yet another chance on what the potential of the show is.
“I’m not a hit guy, I’m a slow burner guy,” Whedon told Airlock Alpha and other reporters on the red carpet of the Syfy/Entertainment Weekly party at San Diego Comic-Con last month. The studio gets that and “a longer term investment is worth it. We want to shake it up and they love us.”
That doesn’t mean that “Dollhouse” will continue the same route it did last season. There will be some differences, Whedon said.

This is how Joss Whedon greeted a group of reporters visiting the set of “Dollhouse” on Friday:
“Welcome back to the biggest surprise of my career, our season two.”
FOX’s renewal of “Dollhouse” for a second season did indeed qualify as one of the bigger shocks of the spring. Whedon is unsurprisingly psyched to be back, and he says he and his fellow writers have “more excitement and enthusiasm about the show than we did by a country mile last year, because we are in it now.”
But the show is also in something of a strange position thanks to “Epitaph One,” the final episode of the first season which depicted the future for Echo (Eliza Dushku) and the rest of the characters and presented a possibly radical new direction for the show.
The episode screened at Comic-Con and is on the show’s DVD set, but FOX didn’t air it, and it’s not available (at least not legally) online — which means that a portion of the audience will head into the second season without knowing what happened in the episode.
