The Cast of YouTube Premium's Impulse Gear up For Season Two

- The end of season one, Maddie's really building her powers a little bit, or discovering them more, so what can we expect in season two though? - Henry's sort of, in season one her-- - I'm sorry, Henry. - It's okay. - Henry not Maddie, losing my mind. - I would love to be building my powers so that's way then I'm correct you. - What powers did you wanna have power?

- What power do I wanna have? I'd love to be invisible right now. - Oh! - Just 'cause it's been like a whole lot of stuff, and I just wanna retreat back into my cocoon. But not that I see you 'cause you're a familiar face. - Well, thank you, okay, so Henry. Henry Flowers. - Henry. - Let's go back. - This season, she starts to take back control of her power.

Last season, it was sort of happening to her. - Exactly. - And this season, she starts to make it happen and in order to do that she has to confront her trauma. - Yes, and we talked a little bit about that last season, that she was having this trauma, not really dealing with it so much. So how is she gonna deal with it, then confront it, and move on, hopefully?

You never really move on from that kind of thing, though. - You don't, but she's sort of forced to confront it in a way. I don't wanna give too much away. - Just do it for me. - But she's sort of put into this situation with this other person, and that person forces her to face it head on. - So for you for season one, and now going into season two, what has been the most exciting, most fun part of filming the show?

- Oh, the most, oh, there's a really fun scene in season two where Henry and Jenna get to dance together. I love that, I love Jenry scenes. - Oh, talking about Jenna and also Townes, kind of helping her with everything that's going on. How much of a role will they play in season two with her? - A big one, they're sort of off on their own a lot 'cause Henry is sort of on this singular journey.

And she's really trying to grapple with what happened to her and how she can control this thing that keeps happening to her, so that she doesn't put her loved ones in danger. So they're sort of like on a team together, trying and trying to get through to her. And at the end, well, something happens with all three of them, but I won't give it away. - And now I'm so curious.

Well, thank you for talking with us-- - Thanks for talking to me. - And good to see you again. - It's goo see you too. (both laughing) I'll see you next time. - Absolutely. - Just you and I. ♪ Just you and I ♪ (bot laughing) - It's karaoke hour. All right, nice to meet you, hi. - Yes, hello (laughs). - So tell us about season two, what's gonna happen with your character?

- What can I tell you? - Give me a little bit, come on. - Season two, we get a little deeper, we dive much deeper. And Anna, she's in the police department, which is very, very corrupt. And she knows that there's something going on, the pieces are not quite fitting together. So she, being the determined woman that she is, is gonna figure it out. So as she gets further along in the trail, things don't quite start to add up, and things get a little wilder as she keeps going, where maybe she shouldn't.

And yeah, so there's... Let's just say by the end of the season, Anna not the same woman she was when it started. - Oh, is that challenging for you as an actor? - No, it's exactly what you want as an actor, it's exactly what you want. Yeah, no, it's, she's very kind of together this woman, and she definitely starts to fray around the edges this year, and that's really fun to play.

- I kinda felt like last season she, a little bit of a mother to these younger people, in Reston. Does that continue for her? Because she's so focused on solving this mystery, does that go on the back her? - Well, no, it's definitely not, it's at the heart of what she's doing for sure. And I think that she's trying very, very hard to continue doing that.

But (chuckles) whether she gets the opportunity is what's in question (laughs). - All right, What do you think fans will be most surprised about with Anna this season? - Well, with just how undone it gets really for her. - Really? - Yeah (laughs). - Oh, I like that she kind of really unravels, huh? - Yeah, yeah, it's exciting. - I like that. - So tell me what's gonna happen in season two for you?

- We can't tell you anything. - Come on, little pieces. - Yeah, I think I talked about it a bit in the panel, but there's every character sort of has this line that they're deciding whether they're willing to cross. And for Townes he is a self-appointed sidekick, that is who he is. But even that comes into question a little bit as he continues his journey.

He finds a little bit more independence this season. - Oh nice, so I know he in Jenna were trying to help Henry a little bit, is that gonna continue in season two? - Well, as you know, at the end of season one, we had a whole plan in place, we were gonna train her and everything. And then, of course, at the very end of season two things go awry. So once again, the show continues to set up expectations of fantastical kind of superhero adventures, and then really grounded in the darkness of what the stakes are in reality, so we continue to play that game and it's fun and very dark.

- I know the Townes is really into this whole supernatural kinda thing, but does it get tiring for him at any point? - Yeah, I mean, it's a stressful journey for him. And yeah, I think if you put that much energy and investment into something that keeps kind of giving you a dark (chuckles) and twisted result, it can be hard on someone, yeah-- - You kina give up a little bit, right?

- Yeah, and Townes likes order, and patterns, and a system to his life, and this is an unpredictable world-- - Chaos. - It's chaos. - A little chaos, yeah. So what kind of feedback have you gotten from the fans so far? What would they like to see from Townes? - I don't know, I try to stay off that stuff. Every now and then I get tempted and look into it, But I love that the fans are enjoying it, and yeah, yeah.

- Yeah, that's the best result when they really talk about, "Oh, look at what Townes did, and this and that. "And I want to see Townes do that and--" - You were here last year, right? - You did! - Yes, it's nice to see you again. It was a "Charlie's Angels" pose. - You got it! - Yes. - She remembers me. - I remember (laughs). - I was just telling Maddie that, she's like, "You looks so familiar." - I remember, how could I forget?

- I know, we were fun, weren't we? (Sarah laughing) - Anyway, focus, we gottA talk about season two. - Let's do it. - So again, season one started out with Jenna and Henry, not necessarily on the best of terms. And then that kinda grew into this whole other relationship. So how is that for you as an actress, changing that whole dynamic? - Well, I love that we get to do that because I think it's so important that, often in shows not always, but there's like the girls that don't get along.

And that is the sad stereotype sometimes in television. But women have complicated relationships, we love each other, we hate each other, we are all over the place, we're women. So I love that we get to portray that in the show. And Maddie herself as a person, as an actress is near and dear to my heart. So anytime we get to have our more emotional tender moments together, it's so effortless and easy to do that with her and connect with her.

So I love having that experience. And yeah, in season two, we explore that more. We're up, we're down, we're all around. But yeah, who knows what we're gonna end up? I like to joke that we're the, will they, won't they of "Impulse." Will they be friends, won't they be friends? Who knows? - I like that. - So Daniel and I were talking about how Jenna and Townes were trying to help Henry.

So where does that take you in season two? - Yes, so Lauren LeFranc, our showrunner, she likes to joke and we're called Jones, and there are a lot more antics with Jones this season and season two. Yeah, we're doing our best, Townes and Jenna we're both like very studious and intelligent, but we're different people. And so we're going to see how Henry, as she grapples with this and like gains control or it gets more complex as we go along, how that affects all of us.

And that affects all of us in different ways. We have Townes with his routines and how he likes his life to be organized. And with Jenna, she's very compassionate. And she's trying to be a friend to Henry, no matter how often she's pushed away because Jenna knows that that is just kind of Henry's defense mechanism. But who knows? Maybe she'll push too far.

- Oh, okay. - Maybe she will maybe she won't. - So maybe they'll be fighting by the end of season two, we don't yet. - We don't know. - Tell me what kind of reactions you're getting from the fans, and how that makes you feel as an actor? - So I think the biggest thing... Well, one, the response to the show in general has been so overwhelmingly positive, and I'm so grateful for that, that we love making the show just so that they enjoy it as much as we do is great.

But for me, I think the reaction to Jenna specifically has just been great because Jenna is really struggling with her identity. She's trying to figure out who she is, and I think a big theme in our show is that we just want everyone who watches it to feel seen in any character. And so anytime I'm contacted and they let me know that they feel really seen through Jenna's story.

It's so wonderful and gratifying. - Yeah, that's rewarding. - Yeah, absolutely. - Well, we can't wait for season two, thank you again. - Thank you so much. - Nice to see you again. - Yes, thank you. (ominous music)
