Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan revealed details about Season 2 this week during a Television Critics Association Q&A panel. Viewers will notice changes in characters as well as settings, said Gilligan according to the MultiChannel Newswire, including a relocation for an Albuquerque house that was "sold out from underneath us."

Gilligan also hinted at the season opener, saying "We start off with a big clue how the whole season is going to end," according to The Hollywood Reporter. He promised a "slam-bang" ending to the season, though he acknowledged the show would not yet want to kill off its main character. "There's certain things implicit with the idea of a character with terminal lung cancer that I don't need to spell out," he said of Bryan Cranston's Walt White, but he promised a "ray of light" this season in his prognosis. "That's often the case in real life with cancer," he said according to the Los Angeles Times. "Moments of sunshine, moments of hopeful outlook. And it can change in the blink of an eye."

When asked whether he knew how the series would end, Gilligan responded, "I do and I don't... My writers often come to me with better ideas. What I learned this season is to relax a little more and be a little more open to where the show is going to go." But, he hinted, "something very big happens at the end of episode two."

Breaking Bad Season 2 premieres March 8 on AMC. Catch up with the first season On Demand starting February 9.
