"It's going to get intense," Danes promised. "We're learning about where the season is going as it's unfolding and they're not taking it easy on me... [My pregnancy is] all okay... I've been very lucky so far."
Fellow Emmy winner Damian Lewis concurred with Danes, adding the viewers can expect even more shocks and thrills in season two.
"[The writers] haven't compromised the show," Lewis promised, adding of Danes's pregnancy: "This baby could come early if she gets chased across too many more rooftops!"
