One of the key themes of the new season, according to Spiridakos, will be exploring Upton’s evolving relationships with her colleagues.
Beyond the personal struggles, the upcoming season will also see Hailey facing even more high-stakes situations. Spiridakos mentioned that the cases the Intelligence Unit tackles will be even more dangerous and complicated than before, forcing the team to make difficult decisions. “This season, there are some morally complex situations that really make you question what’s right and wrong,” she explained. “Hailey will have to dig deep and make tough calls that impact not just her, but her whole team.”
Spiridakos also teased that the season would explore Upton’s past more thoroughly, giving fans a deeper understanding of who she is and what drives her. Her character’s backstory has always been somewhat mysterious, and the new season promises to shed light on her personal life, revealing more about what motivates her actions and decisions. “We’re going to learn more about Upton’s history and the experiences that shaped her,” Spiridakos shared. “It’s going to add a new layer to her character, and I’m excited for fans to see that side of her.”
As always, Spiridakos emphasized how grateful she is to be part of such a dynamic and talented ensemble cast. The chemistry between the actors has always been a highlight of the show, and Spiridakos credits the strong bond among the cast for making every season so enjoyable to work on. “We’re like a family,” she said. “The camaraderie we have off-screen really translates to the screen, and I think that’s part of why the show has resonated with viewers.”
