In this recent interview, Alcatraz showrunner Daniel Pyne discusses the show’s mythology, structure and what the remainder of the season holds.
Pyne on the relationship between the show’s mythology and story:
It’s a show that has a great balance between the Alcatraz stuff, which functions kind of like a short story inside of the story. We try to link the mythology more to the story at hand than just random pieces that come flying out. So if you’ve seen a piece of mythology you can expect it to have more story involved with it than just be a question that’s gonna hang out there forever. But we build on the spine of catching a bad guy so it, to a certain extent, it’s not so much a procedural as it is a chase show, a fugitive chase show.
On whether the structure of the show will evolve over time:
There will be some shows that won’t be at all what anybody’s seen yet, and they’re coming up quick. We’re gonna mix it up. We’re gonna make it so it won’t always be “oh a guy shows up, he’s committing crimes, let’s get him.”
On what’s coming up in the remainder of the season:
We hope to reveal more about what’s going on, more about what happened maybe, and deepen our understanding of the characters and what their relationships are with the island. As we go along a minor character that you might see in one flashback may become a major character in a story in the future, and occasionally a character that we’ve dealt with has information or has an interface later with our characters.
On where the season will end up:
The plan is to answer a bunch of things that have been raised in the first season without answering everything, and then also prepare and pose questions that will carry into the next run.
