us,” he said. “Andy and Barbara are hard at work trying to come up with
an idea for a story they’d want to tell for another season. I would
happily do it. One of the challenges is, there’s not a book that you’re basing it on, so it’s invention. They want to make sure that they have a story they’re excited to tell. So it’s not limbo other than they need to land on something they’re excited by creatively. We’ll be there.”]

risk losing her forever. It follows Rachel Klein, who drops her daughter
at the bus stop and heads into her day. But a cell phone call from an
unknown number changes everything: it’s a woman on the line, informing
her that she has Kylie bound and gagged in her back seat, and the only
way Rachel will see her again is to follow her instructions exactly: pay
a ransom, and find another child to abduct. This is no ordinary
kidnapping: the caller is a mother herself, whose son has been taken,
and if Rachel doesn’t do as she’s told, the boy will die. Rachel is now part of The Chain."]
