Reign on CW has been renewed for a season 2 as season 1 wraps up on May 15.
Most of the so-called potential spoilers come from the season 1 finale, where the “thing in the woods” will finally be revealed and King Henry is in big trouble.
Episode 22 bears the ominous title “Slaughter of the Innocence.”
The official description says that the King’s madness and cruelty reaches a fevered pitch, prompting Mary and Francis to take action. “Their brutal choices could change the course of history, but an unforeseen terror brewing in the woods could cost them, and their friends, everything.”
Meanwhile, Mary makes a drastic decision when she learns Lola is going through a life-threatening labor at a location outside of the castle.
Executive producer Laurie McCarthy told TVLine that the finale packs “an incredible payoff and a shocking ending for Mary and Francis [as well as] Bash and Kenna.”
“The king’s madness will also escalate in a shocking way. All of those events will come together — including the culmination of what we used to call ‘the thing in the woods’ — in a very surprising, dramatic end.”
While many believe King Henry will die, it could be his son Francis who becomes the victim. A sneak peek shows Henry plotting his death.
Reign’s first season premiered in mid-October. That’s all there is to go on at this point for the season 2 premiere date. It’s supposed to stay on Thursday nights at 9 p.m. so a projected premiere date is October 17--the same date as the first season.
