The TURN: Washington’s Spies Season 2 premiere airs this Monday, April 13 at 9/8c. Looking for ways to get ready? Here are 10 suggestions:

1. Catch up with a marathon of all 10 Season 1 episodes starting this Monday, April 13th at 10:30am/9:30c, leading directly into the two-hour Season 2 premiere event at 9/8c. You can also watch the cast and crew talk about where Season 1 left off.

2. Watch four sneak peek scenes from the two-hour Season 2 premiere.

3. View behind the scenes videos from Season 2 to get a preview of the upcoming season, meet this season’s new characters, and learn how Season 2 was made.

4. Watch five Season 2 trailers, including up-close looks at both George Washington and Benedict Arnold.

5. Peruse more than 30 first-look photos from Season 2.

6. Read the first chapter of the all-new TURN: Washington’s Spies comic, “Rivals,” which reveals the backstory of the rivalry between George Washington and Robert Rogers.

7. Explore the Season 2 digital press kit, which features content typically only made available to members of the press. Don’t miss the interactive spycraft section!

8. Read a Q&A with series star Jamie Bell (Abraham Woodhull), in which he talks about who Abe has become, performing his own stunts, and his favorite character from the series. You can also read an interview with Executive Producer Barry Josephson, in which he previews what fans can expect in Season 2 and reveals which Revolutionary figure he’d most like to meet.

9. Enter the Revolutionary Adventure Sweepstakes for your chance to win a trip to George Washington’s Mount Vernon, the International Spy Museum, or Independence National Historic Park.

10. Join the TURN Washington’s Spies Insiders Club for early and exclusive access to photos, videos, interviews, news, features and more. You can also follow the series on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Season 2 of TURN: Washington’s Spies debuts with a special two-hour premiere event, this Monday, April 13 at 9/8c on AMC.

What is truly remarkable is that one of the Washington six is still secret to this day.

That is serious OPSEC.

Simcoe is alive and well. They just captured and muzzled him last season to avoid a bloodbath. Not only that, if you look him up in your history book you’ll find out that he got promoted and returned to Britain as a hero in real life. As I remember, he went on to take a command in Canada. :(

Simcoe is fascinating, ruthless smart and I think he has a heart

Same actor, Angus Macfadyen. He has no beard this season. He also played Robert the Bruce in Braveheart.

Shaved the beard.

John Graves Simcoe is a bad ass.
An admirable foe.

Holy Cow!

Who watched, and what did you think?

The sculptress/spy in George III’s Court surprised me. I have never heard of her before — Patience Lovell Wright — although her demise was not as dramatic as portrayed in Turn. Look her up!

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Revolutionary War ping list.

I didn’t see season one. Please tell me that it wasn’t as bad as that God-awful “Sons of Liberty” on the History Channel.

I thought season 1 was wonderful, although it moves somewhat slow. Season 2 picks up the pace quite a bit.

The costumes, interiors, and photography are wonderful, even though the narrative is not totally accurate. For instance, Anna Strong was quite a few years older than Abraham Woodhull in real life. There is no evidence that they had an affair. Of course, you could say that there is no evidence that they DIDN’T have an affair, either. ;^)

Patience Lovell Wright (seen at the beginning of Season 2) was not shot point blank by the King’s soldiers. She died from complications of a broken leg in 1786. She was a spy, however, who smuggled info to Ben Franklin hidden in her wax busts of famous personages.

Please add me to the ping list. Watched the start of Season 2 last night after the last few episodes of Season 1. They waited TOO long to bring it back. Great program!
