'The Catch' Season 2: Mireille Enos Teases Backstories, Shorter Episodes

Mireille Enos spoke on eTalk during her visit to Canada recently and stated that they have yet to begin with work on "The Catch" Season 2. However, she is aware that next season will be filled with backstories about the characters - Alice, Ben (Peter Krause), Valerie (Rose Rollins), Danny (Jay Hayden), Sophie (Elvy Yost) and Margot (Sonya Walger).

Mireille Enos guessed that her character, with Alice's beautiful house and office, and fashionable clothes, might have been picking car locks before she became a sought-after private investigator with rich clients. She describes the appeal of the show as somewhat akin to "Romeo and Juliet" meets "James Bond."

The actress also unofficially confirmed that "The Catch" Season 2 could have shorter episodes as opposed to the standard 22-24 episodes on network television. Mireille Enos believes this is a better model for shows to be able to tell a straight-forward and tighter storyline. "The Catch" Season 1 had only 10 episodes.
