"Falling Skies" was renewed on July 7, 2011, for a second season.
TNT announced production had begun on the second season on October 24, 2011.
For the second season, Brandon Jay McLaren joined the cast in October as Jamil Dexter, a mechanic.
McLaren will feature in seven episodes.
Filming took place in Vancouver and at the Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam from October 2011 to March 2012.
For the first season, production took place in Hamilton and Toronto.
Noah Wyle said that the change in location made filming significantly different.
A new crew came in for the second season, with only "two or three people on staff that were there in season one."
The new staff includes a new writing staff and showrunner.
Remi Aubuchon was hired as the showrunner for the second season in May 2011 before the first season premiere.
Once Aubuchon entered the writer's room, he began speaking of the cliffhanger "it became a really fun challenge."
Out of that cliffhanger, says Aubuchon, "came some really positive things that propel a lot of the storytelling in the second season.
And the writers came up with a pretty cool way for Tom Mason to get off that spaceship again."
"You'll always catch people after a huge trauma saying, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad.'
Or, 'It was fun,' Or, 'It was cool falling off that cliff,'" says Aubuchon.
"The truth is, at first it was like, 'Oh my God, should i just say I can't do this job?'
Ultimately, though, I think it turned out cool.
"Series lead Noah Wyle received several phone calls after the first season finale aired.
The number one question was "What the hell were you doing getting on that spaceship?"
He said that they "wrote themselves into a corner".
Moon Bloodgood, who plays Dr. Anne Glass, says she was sort of daunted but impressed by the writing.
Aubuchon added that Tom Mason's capture helped the writer's change the character slightly.
He stated: "Tom comes away from that experience feeling used and manipulated.
It wasn't the experience expected.
He thought he was going to be having a nice conversation with an extraterrestrial being.
It turned out to be worse than that.
More than that, I won't say.
But that's what made it fun."
Greg Beeman, who directed the episode, spoke about Remi Aubuchon's hiring.
He said that Remi had "a lot of ideas about how to keep the good stuff we’d established in Season 1", and "diminish the things that weren’t as strong".
Steven Spielberg's original conception of "Falling Skies" was that the characters in the series would be nomadic.
The idea for the second season was to "create a mobile refugee camp made up of vehicles and rag-tag tents."
Chris Faloona, who was the Director of Photography in the first season, was unable to return due to commitments on another series, and Nate Goodman was hired.
He worked with Greg Beeman on the NBC series "Heroes".
Aubuchon and Beeman discussed what was a head for the characters this season, and soon after, Beeman called Connor Jessup, who plays Ben Mason, and said "I’ve just heard what the plans are for you for this season.
And my strong advice is that you get a trainer and start eating your Wheaties!
You are in a HUGE storyline is going to revolve around you… You’re a warrior, you’re a skitter killer and you’re a badass!"
Jessup hired a trainer that very day.
