As you recall from the first season closer, Artie (played by Saul Rubinek) had to blow up the bridge between the Warehouse and the outside world. We will find out this coming summer with the news that SyFy’s hot new series “Warehouse 13” has been renewed for a second season with a July 13th premiere date.
The second season order for thirteen new episodes will also guest star Nolan Funk (Nickelodeon’s “Spectacular” and “Drake & Josh”) in a four-ep story arc, involving Claudia (played by Allison Scagliotti) and also Jewel Staite (“Firefly”, “Stargate: Atlantis”). There isn’t much information on Staite’s role just yet, but she did have this to say about being cast on “Warehouse 13”:
“Got offered a lovely role on Warehouse 13. Wish I could tell you more. All I can say is, you Browncoats are gonna freak.”
Once again, I pose the question of who MacPherson was working for. Check out my theory about the Right Eye of Horus here. If you need a refresher, SciFiMafia has recaps of the entire first season of “Warehouse 13” in our “In Case You Missed It: WAREHOUSE 13” series!
Here’s the official press release regarding the show’s renewal and a preview of upcoming plotlines that, and I warn you now, contains SPOILERS, especially to the question stated in this article’s title.
