Production starts up this month on the second season of TNT's supernatural series Witchblade, which is shot in Toronto, the Comics2Film Web site reported. Spike Seldin, president of production at Top Cow, which makes the series, told the site, "The entire cast is back. It all looks good. TNT is behind it with all its support. We think it's going to be bigger this year than it was last year."

The series, starring Yancy Butler as New York cop Sara Pezzini, is based on a Top Cow comic series. Will the show gradually change to reflect the at-times lurid look of the comics? "I think you'll see gradual adjustments or change as the series grows, but it will stay organic to the story plot as that develops as well," Seldin said. TNT will begin rerunning first-season episodes Mondays at 9 p.m. and Tuesdays at 11 p.m., starting Jan. 28. The two-hour pilot movie will air Jan. 21 at 8 p.m. The second season will begin in the summer.
