Scooter Braun might be best known as Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber’s managers, but he is also a TV and film producer. The second season of Braun’s CBS hacker drama Scorpion premieres tonight. The show, based around a true story, stars Game of Thrones vet, Elyes Gabel. Now, both Gabel and the boss are opening up about the new season of the series.

Scooter Braun recently opened up to Variety about the new season of Scorpion, saying:

“We want to make sure we take the suspense up to a different level this season, but the heart of the show is about people belonging somewhere. Everyone has that sense of, ‘Where do I belong?’ That heart and soul is what makes the show so popular.”

Executive producer Nick Santora recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the how Season 2 is going to top Season 1:

“The critique that we kept getting [last year] was ‘There’s no way you’re going to be able to do more stunts. The truth is, we’ve done stuff that’s bigger, that’s more complex, so expect to see more intense action sequences.”

Elyes Gabel also chimed in, adding:

“We’ll be going to higher altitudes.”

The official plot synopsis for this tonight’s all new Season 2 premier new episode of Scorpion, titled “Satellite of Love,” reads:

“In the second season premiere, a nuclear-powered Russian satellite is knocked out of orbit and the team reunites to divert its course before it detonates over Southern California. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Paige kissed Walter, which forces them to confront their feelings for each other. Gene Simmons makes a guest appearance as himself.”
