Great to hear it's been confirmed. I'm hoping to spot myself in the background as well. Roll on April!

I couldn't find an answer and maybe there isn't but is season 2 going to cover the second book or are they going to slow down the pace of the series?

Its going to cover the second book... season 3 and 4 are planned to split book 3 (if they get the go ahead).
