Warehouse 13 season 3 will premiere this Monday. But before we start the season, let’s first see what can we expect from the characters especially on Myka Bering.
Here is an interview with Joanne Kelly courtesy of IGN:
Myka is of course the kick-ass Warehouse agent with a tendency to be a bookworm. The character has progressed a lot in the past two seasons, and so has the show itself. We spoke with Joanne about the role, her castmates, and where the show is headed for its third season.
Kelly was jovial and energetic the day we spoke to her, despite a hectic shooting schedule as the cast and crew filmed the second-to-last episode of the season. “Five months of getting up at 4am is starting to get me,” she said as she laughed about it. With the production run for the season almost over, she described it as feeling, “like being in high school during the week before summer.”
he big addition to Season 3 is the inclusion of Aaron Ashmore as agent Steve Jinks. “He’s lovely,” Kelly said. “He’s such a great guy, and such a great actor.” She went on to give a few more details about how Jinks will grow into the team as he bonds with Claudia.
“He’s kind of like her Pete,” Kelly said. “Not in the same way, but they really grow to have an affection for each other, and I think he’s a really nice fit for the show.”
Last season’s finale left us on a cliffhanger as Myka left the Warehouse crew after being betrayed by H.G. Wells, the season’s main antagonist. Many fans were worried about how long Myka would be gone, but they won’t have to wait forever to see Myka back in action. “That would have been exhausting for all of us,” Kelly said. “This season is so huge! I’m so glad we resolved it quickly because we have other things to do. I wanted to get back to work, and I think Myka wanted to too.”
The series also isn’t totally done with the H.G. Wells character, portrayed by actress Jamie Murray. Besides rumors of an H.G. Wells spinoff in the works, you’ll see her again in Warehouse 13 this season. “I’m a big fan of Jamie’s,” Kelly said. “It can get weird with actresses, as there’s a lot of passive aggressiveness out there, but not with her. And for Myka, it’s nice to have somebody that she can go toe-to-toe with.”
Kelly has become increasingly comfortable with her character, and has integrated a lot of herself into the role, as Myka grew from a serious, by-the-book agent to a more relaxed person. “She’s evolved a lot,” she said of Myka. “And I think I went from portraying a character, to relaxing more and just being myself. A lot of people like her more now, but I liked her more when she was more of a bitch, because I think that’s more realistic. Human beings aren’t likable all the time.”
Kelly gave much credit to executive producer Jack Kenny for helping her relax into her role and manage the tough work schedule. “Jack Kenny is like our dad,” she said. “He keeps the family together.”
And she certainly does consider her coworkers family, especially her co-star Eddie McClintock, who plays Pete Lattimer. “He’s like my best friend,” she said. “I see him more than anyone else…in the world…ever. I never spend this much time even with my family!”
It’s clear Kelly is humble and thankful for having a starring role in a show that’s survived through its third season. “It’s been more clear to me how much of a blessing this is, more so this year than the last,” Kelly said of this season, which she calls her favorite so far. “I’ve never done a show for this long, and there’s an evolution and learning process of learning about acting and not getting lazy. I feel lucky to find something I want to work on every season, and in every scene.”
