Showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman teased what to expect after leaving Pete’s (Richie Moriarty) fate up in the air at the end of Season 5. That will get addressed quite immediately upon the show’s return, but they went a step further at SDCC to prepare audiences for the fact that the Pete crisis won’t necessarily be solved right away.
The show will return with 2 one hour episodes this fall. There will be a Halloween episode and a Christmas episode. Then the rest of the season will unfold in 2027.
“In the Halloween special, which is our first ever hourlong, we’re gonna meet Hetty’s sister, her mustachioed sister Margaret, who’s been referenced several times in the show,” Wiseman revealed to many oohs and aahs inside the room, adding that the episode will introduce her “in a sort of unusual way.”
“She’s gonna be a type of ghost that we have never seen,” he added.
As for this year’s Christmas special, “it’s inspired by what we think would be one of Jay and probably Trevor’s favorite movies, Die Hard,” Port shared.
