Fans of AMC's Revolutionary War drama Turn will still need to wait until 2015 for the show to return, but showrunner Craig Silverstein is keeping their interest piqued by dropping major hints of what's to come.

'Turn' Renewed For Season 2

Season one had a slower start as Abe (Jamie Bell) struggled with where his loyalties lay--either with the controlling British or the Revolutionary soldiers. But now that he has finally chosen a side, his entire demeanor is set to change.

Also set to change will be the relationship he has with his wife, mary (Meegan Warner), who is now aware that her husband is not only involved in the Culper Spy Ring--but is the new head of it.

Mary To Complicate Things For Abe In Season 2?

"I would imagine [the relationship will be] a very tense version of Downton Abbey, with Mary and Abe now living in Whitehall along with [Abe's father] Richard and Major Hewlett--all in the same house," Silverstein told Entertainment Weekly July 4. "One of the ironies that we like about Abe's arc and his character is that the more he lies, the more he spies, the closer he becomes to certain people in his life that he's lying to, like his father. And Mary has sort of a chip in the game and is using it to get what she wants. So our plans for Mary for this second season key off the same theme of power, and what it does to people who get it."

Silverstein also talked about how the show has mainly kept true to the actual history it is portraying on screen, but did admit that if the situation calls for it, he won't be afraid to rewrite the story a little bit.

"My favorite thing, the thing that makes me the most excited but also the most comfortable is filling in gaps where we're free to invent," he said. "Like, Andre (JJ Feild) and Peggy Shippen were engaged to be married briefly and then moved apart, and then later she hooked up with Benedict Arnold. One thing we're going to say is that they never stopped seeing each other. There's nothing really to disprove that, but it's not also historically definite, you know. "

"What I feel less comfortable doing is doing something for extreme shock value, like killing [George] Washington," he added. "Now you're in an alternate timeline. So somewhere between those poles, you know."

Turn Season 2 is scheduled to air in 2015.
