Revenge Season 4 Spoilers: ABC has announced that its psychological thriller will be returning to its accustomed time slot, Sunday nights at 9:00 pm ET/PT on September 28th, 2014. A photo released by Sallie Patrick revealed the premiere episode. Written by Sunil Nayar and Patrick, it has been officially titled "Renaissance." How will it affect Emily and the Graysons?
From what the title implies, rebirth, growth and reawakening may be anticipated in this coming season. One of which is when David Clarke who was thought to be dead is said to be alive. Executive producers Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts told E! News the reason why they decided to bring David back from the dead.
"The show had reached a point where it was collapsing in on itself because with the Initiative, we tried to go bigger," Berg said. "It didn't seem to work as well, it didn't feel intimate, so we were running out of people for revenge and unless we were able to turn the show on its ear and make a big, big splash and change...it made it exciting for all of us to move forward."
Reportedly, it revived Emily's action "especially after she had finally achieved her goal of exacting revenge on the Graysons."
"It's Emily's time to realize she did this in the name of her father, was that the right thing to do? Is he happy about that or is he disappointed? It's going to be a father-daughter relationship season. The character of Emily is so central to the show and after three years of exploring her through that lens of revenge, the staff was like what new element in can come into her life that will shake her up completely and allow us to force Emily to find out who Amanda is and we realized it's her father," Harberts said. "Bringing David back, he's the one character out there who could really push a lot of her buttons. For us, we're always looking to do new dynamics and find something new."
"The drive of season four will be Emily discovering who Amanda Clarke is and Emily figuring out her new life with her father in it. I don't want to say when she's going to discover it that, but that's going to be our arc for the season," Berg said giving a glimpse of Season 4.
David Clarke's return to Season 4 will definitely have an effect to his daughter, Emily, as well as to other characters such as Victoria Grayson.
"David will eventually be caught in the middle of that battle. He's going to cause a lot of problems because he's at a point where these two women's lives intersect," Harberts said.
"Revenge" is sure to return with all-new episodes starting up this fall.
