5. Is Tobias Menzies back?
I’m going to get the obvious question out of the way. At the very end of the trailer, Tobias Menzies’ voice was distinctive. There’s no way that you could have missed it.
So, it’s important to break this down. I’ve already questioned whether this would be Frank or Black Jack Randall talking. My opinion is that it’s Frank and Tobias Menzies is back for this season for an episode (or maybe two).

This really shouldn’t be that surprising. For months, we’ve been warned that the showrunners wanted to bring Tobias back. He’s an outstanding actor.
Love or hate Frank (I have a soft spot for Season 1-2 Frank), he’s an integral part of the story for Brianna. Without Frank, Brianna wouldn’t have learned to shoot. She possibly wouldn’t have the passion for history that she does, because it was spending time with Frank that helped build on that passion.
Brianna has many memories of this man who raised her, the man she called “Daddy.” It wouldn’t be all too crazy to include some flashbacks, especially as Brianna gets ready to go to the past.
And this brings me to the next question…
