David S. Goyer's "Da Vinci's Demons" was renewed this week for a second season after a strong series debut on Starz. Goyer announced via his personal blog that "Avengers" steward Jonathan Hickman and "Hawkeye" scribe Matt Fraction have been hired to write two episodes of the series for the second season.
He also had this to say about the two writers.
"One of the best parts of this job is that you occasionally get to call up people you admire out of the blue and ask them if they want to play in your sandbox. Sometimes, they say 'yes', so I managed to convince Starz and the powers that be to hire Matt and Jonathan on to write two episodes of Season 2 with our trusty staff. In case you don’t know who Hickman and Fraction are they are comic gods in the indie and Marvel world."
"Da Vinci's Demons" follows a 25-year-old Leonardo da Vinci and stars Tom Riley as Leonardo da Vinci, Laura Haddock as Lucrezia Donati, Blake Ritson as Count Girolamo Riario, Elliot Cowan as Lorenzo Medici, Allan Corduner as Andrea Verrocchio and Laura Pulver as Clarice Orsini. The series debuted April 12.
