WARNING: MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD. SciFi Mafia had the pleasure of participating in a question and answer session with Jack Kenny, showrunner, and Aaron Ashmore, the new Warehouse 13 agent Steve Jinks. Of course one of the most pressing questions on everyone’s mind was – what about Myka?

TVIsMyPacifier.com finally asked straight out if Myka will be back:

Jack Kenny: Well just to keep myself from getting into trouble I never said she would definitely be back. They’ll hunt me down and shoot me. No, what I’ve always – what I kept saying to people is don’t worry. We have our fans’ best interest at heart and everybody should just relax and enjoy the ride.

Remember at the end of the first season we killed Artie. So just – everybody should just not worry. It’s going to be a great year and everybody’s going to be thrilled. That said, that’s part of the fun of the season this year is in the first episode is Myka coming back? If she does, how is she coming back? How does Aaron fit into all this?

It’s a nice fun beat. But honestly it’s just, as I keep saying and I’m surprised because I never really thought about it — Aaron fits so well into this family that it hasn’t felt like an issue. There’s been plenty of room in this show to have this new character. And I got to tell you, just separately of the writing and the acting and the shooting, everybody in the cast just loves Aaron.

So it would be different if we had somebody who was a jerk. But he’s such a terrific human being and brings so much warmth and professionalism to the set that I think people look forward to doing scenes with him and seeing him. So it’s been – it’s just been a real kind of a joy this year.

SciFiVision.com asked Aaron Ashmore how he became involved in the show:

Aaron Ashmore: Well it was kind of a strange process because that – the auditioning didn’t kind of happen. I think that Jack and the Warehouse folks had been kind of looking to cast this part and had looked at bunch of different options and a bunch of different people. And I think it was coming down to the wire and they hadn’t found the right person.

And I happened to be up in Toronto and Jack was talking to the casting director, Robin up here and I guess my name came up. And Jack and I went and kind of had brunch and just sat down and talked about the character and talked about the role and the show.

And Jack said by the end of that meeting, Jack said, “You know what? I’m seeing you as this part. You know, I can really see you doing this.” And as much as I was hopeful that that was true I was like, “This is way too easy.” A lot of the times you have to go through these long casting process auditioning and testing and all this stuff.

So I left that meeting feeling very hopeful that that would be the case. But, also being like, “Ah, it’s just too good to be true.” And sure enough the next day or two days later I got the call and I was cast as Steve.

So it was a really interesting process and very different, and I wish more could be like that — the casting process. But it was pretty unique.

Jack Kenny: You have to ask the – Aaron, you have to actually send a portion of your paycheck to Zuckerberg at Facebook because it was because Robin as friends with Aaron on Facebook that she knew he was in town.

Aaron Ashmore: Yes, yes.

Jack Kenny: It was such a bizarre coincidence of events. It was like we’ve gotten down to the wire, we couldn’t find anybody that was fitting in with the part and the cast. We had chemistry reads and it just wasn’t – it just didn’t feel right. And then Robin spent three days before the table reading and was like, “Well now, you know, now we have to actually hire somebody who’s Canadian because we don’t have time to immigrate anybody.”

And I was actually feeling like, “Well this may not happen. I may have to rewrite it and not have the part in the first episode.” I don’t know how that would work but it would be really tough to do.

But – and then Robin said, “You know, I’m Facebook friends with Aaron Ashmore and he’s perfect for this but I don’t know if he’s in town. I think he is. Let me check.” And because it was a Saturday there was no way to reach agents or anybody.

So she Facebooked him and he was like, “Yes, I’m here visiting my girlfriend.” And I’m like, “Oh my God. Well let’s have brunch tomorrow.” It was Sunday. It was just all so – it was just – it was fate reaching in and saying this is the guy. Because as soon as I — literally as soon as I saw him sitting in the restaurant I thought, “Oh-oh, that’s him. That’s they guy.”

Because there’s just something about it when you see the person. Everybody says at auditions you kind of know when the person walks in the room. When the actor or actress walks in the room, before they even open their mouths you can tell if they’re right or not. And it’s just something about an energy. And I looked at him and, “Oh, he’s right. Please God, let him not be crazy.”

SciFi Mafia then asked Jack Kenny if the show would be visiting other  warehouses this year:

Jack Kenny: Well, kind of. We have – it’s hard to be specific but there are elements of Warehouse 7 and we’ll be – that we’ll be touching on in Mogul – in the Mongol Empire. And Warehouse 2, the beginning of the season, the stuff’s been excavated from Warehouse 2 and has been delivered to the warehouse and into a place we’re calling the Ovoid Quarantine, which is where a sort of an egg-shaped purple-lit structure that when there are large caches of artifacts brought in, that’s where they go first, into the quarantine.

So we’ll be talking a lot about Warehouse 2 and dealing with a bunch of Warehouse 2 artifacts. I don’t think we’re actually visiting any of the other – oh, yes, no, that’s not true. We’re going to, yes, we will be seeing a little bit of Warehouse 12.

I also asked about the amount of green screen work on the show:

Jack Kenny: Oh my God, yes. Yes, there’s green screen work. I mean, I say that that way because it’s always so hard. What a – Saul calls it schmacting. Because it’s a lot of pretending. It’s a lot of – as it – we call green screen work schmacting and when you have to do a lot of exposition it’s call facting. But yes, we do a fair amount of green screen stuff this year.

Then I had to ask about Comic-Con – if there would be a panel and if Aaron would be attending:

Jack Kenny: Are you going, Aaron?

Aaron Ashmore: I don’t know.

Jack Kenny: I don’t know either. I don’t know if you’re going to be there or not either. But I know that it’s Friday afternoon. I think – you’ll have to check with Erica — or Erica maybe you could chime in — I think it’s 4 o’clock Friday afternoon. And it’s in the big room — one of the big rooms. And I know that the four main cast and myself will be there. I don’t know anything else.

I don’t know if Aaron’s coming or if C.C.’s going to be there, or any of those details yet. I haven’t really been – I know it’s only three weeks away but I’m directing the last episode of the season and my head is kind of in that right now.

Erica: It’s at 4:15 on Friday in Ballroom 20. 4:15 on Friday in Ballroom 20.

The FOUR main characters, and that doesn’t include Aaron… Hmmm…

It was great talking with Jack Kenny and Aaron Ashmore and I can’t wait to see how the season unfolds.

Warehouse 13 will premiere its third season on Syfy this Monday, July 11 at 9/8c.
