If you followed along with the get-go season of Starz's Da Vinci's Demons , y'all may have been left in a land of wound-up exasperation following its overstuffed finale, which crammed a metric ton of twists and turns into its running time. Skillful news arrived about v months back, though, when Starz made the shrewd gamble to renew the series for a second go-round; this past Friday, even better news hit equally New York Comic Con got into full swing and a teaser trailer for the next installment ofDa Vinci's Demons - seen to a higher place - went online.

Appropriately enough, it's besides packed to the gills with story textile, sights, and sounds, only maintains a high capacity for content without ever really maxim anything direct about just what the heck it is that showrunner David S. Goyer has in shop for his audience this season. Business as usual, then, which may be taken as a good sign both for fans of the show and for Starz itself; they're running low on original programming, and if they can keep upwards their momentum withDa Vinci'southward Demons, then their historical fantasy could become one of the near important entries in their rotation.

What weexercise know well-nigh flavor two - at least gathering from this trailer - is that everything's going s, literally. Da Vinci and co. are packing up and making the journey to South America, well on the path of the Book of Leaves, in the aftermath of the Pazzi's violent conspiracy against the ruling Medici family unit; the Vatican too appears to exist upwards to no skillful, though precisely how all of these elements intersect with i another isn't made peculiarly clear in the footage here.

So while there's quite a lot for viewers to see, there's footling and less explained, which is likely for the amend - the prove's mysteries should stay mysterious before its premiere, after all. (Though does the new setting give anybody else a certainIndiana Jones vibe?)

All that's really missing at present is a release engagement; the clip tells usa 2014, but politely refuses to become any more specific than that. When in 2014 will this start off? If Da Vinci's Demons' history tells us anything, it'due south that the series could kick off again in Apr, which is when it debuted this twelvemonth. But this is just speculation, and nosotros'll all have to await patiently for official word from Starz as to when they program on getting things started with everyone's favorite historical inventor in one case more.
