Such a huge fan of the show, and am so excited for season 2, especially since all the early reviews have been so glowing…My question is, how much backstory do you work out for yourselves before you plot out the stories? For instance, do you find it's important to know things like where Nina comes from, or how Philip was recruited, or does that character history only come up if it's pertinent to the current story?

One of my favorite parts of the show is all the Russian being spoken! How much advance warning do you give the English speaking actors when they have Russian dialogue coming up, and will we see more of Philip and Elizabeth speaking it?
