The executive producer of V has revealed that several main characters will be killed off in the second season finale.

Scott Rosenbaum told TV Guide that two or "possibly even three" series regulars will not return to the ABC series if it is renewed for a third run.

He explained that the departure of certain actors was related to "what would be most devastating for the characters [he wanted] to continue".

"People are going to be shocked," added series star Laura Vandervoort. "When we read the script there was initially shock, then sadness. [It's like] seeing your son go off to college or [your] grandma passing."

Rosenbaum confirmed that Elisabeth Mitchell (Erica Evans) and Morena Baccarin (Anna) will return to the series, leaving Vandervoort (Lisa), Scott Wolf (Chad), Logan Huffman (Tyler), Morris Chestnut (Ryan), Joel Gretsch (Father Jack) and Jane Badler (Diana) as potential candidates for the axe.

V continues on Tuesdays at 9/8c on ABC. The second season will conclude on March 15.
