Awards haven't really helped with other shows. It all comes down to money. What shows deliver the ratings that will bring in the advertising dollars. The thing that will save Legends is the international ratings and the syndication prospects and in that it is doing very well.

Sable is right that awards do not often help a show.  In the 80's there was a show in the US, Cagney and Lacey.  For 6 straight years one of  the two stars won an Emmy for the show.  The show had low ratings and was canceled.  There was a letter writing campaign and the show was brought back however it was then later canceled due to low ratings.  Ratings mean more to a network than critical acclaim.

TNT’s Legends has been renewed—and Sean Bean’s character is still alive.

The cable network has given the spy show a second season, ordering another 10 episodes expected to launch next year. Moreover, this means the executable former Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, and Missing star finally gets to stick around for awhile in a U.S. show.

Legends is based on a book by Robert Littell and stars Bean undercover FBI agent who can transform himself into a completely different person for each job. The first season of Legends averaged 3.2 million viewers including DVR.

Great  news!  Even if the show and some of the other actors aren't so good, I will very much enjoy getting a weekly Bean fix!

It makes sense that you would have some different actors in the new season, because the story has changed
and now Martin is a fugitive on the run.

Composer interview: Reinhold Heil doubles-up on ‘Helix’ and ‘Legends

Quote
And we’re going to have the same thing happening with “Legends;” it’s ten episodes with one continuous storyline, and we’re going to go into a second season next summer. And the conspiracy is going to unfold episode-by-episode, so it will be binge-able. You can spend a weekend on Netflix and take in the whole story. You can catch up on Season One while watching Season Two.

With shows like “Helix” and “Legends,” where each episode has so many different twists and turns with the plot, to give each its appropriate authenticity, how far in advance are you given to work on a particular episode?

Well, with “Legends,” they were not done writing when the season started, so I’m always several episodes ahead. I not only get screenplays, I also get rough cuts. The director’s cut is the first cut, then there’s a producer’s cut and a network cut, and that cycle continues until you finally lock picture, and by that time, a lot of the music is already composed. And you work on several episodes simultaneously, so as they start laying out material, you see where the themes fit in, because you have to repurpose themes, as it’s like a big movie – you have to reuse themes for characters, settings, or whatever. You help move the story along with the themes that you write and apply consistently.

And to do that, you need to be a few steps ahead. If I don’t get the screenplays, at least I get to see it when I do spotting sessions for the early episodes. I get to talk to the showrunner, when he lays out the long-term prospective storyline – what the big mysteries are, what the ending will be…it’s a big clusterf*** of non-disclosure, where I’m sitting here in an interview, and I can’t tell you anything.

Comparing apples to oranges, the music in “Helix” sounds more like an active participant in the program, rather than atmospheric accompaniment, than it is in “Legends.”

I think that’s probably true. “Legends” might actually be changing a little. It’s not procedural, but it’s more a of cop show. But there are some special moments, because every time Martin Odum slips into another character for the first time and reappears as that new character. That’s what the show is about – he has all these different characters that he has established over the years that have connections in the real world who know him as that character. So he has to modify his appearance and demeanor to play that character. Naturally, each of these characters needs a theme to coordinate directly with that “legend.” Those are challenging, because those are the moments when the music moves outside of the procedural underscore of the action.

know exactly what you’re talking about. At the end of the second episode, when he became that playboy arms dealer, I was taken aback by the music as I was not expecting it at all. It was really cool.

Yeah, it’s a bit like a thug version of James Bond, in that he has that kind of lifestyle and demeanor, but of course, he’s an evil arms dealer. So, yeah, it has these challenges/opportunities to create some music that really sticks out. The score is pretty coherent; it has its own thing, the “Legends” score.

Even side characters, as you see in the storyline that has to do with Dante Auerbach, which features this woman from Chechnya, and she has a theme. And the nice thing about that is that she’s there for three episodes, so there’s some character development and many opportunities to develop her theme. But then you have to throw them away, either because the character bites the dust or because she’s no longer relevant. And then Martin Odum becomes somebody else, and we have to find music for that. So, in that respect, the “Legends” score has its own little challenges.

Watching a guy like Sean Bean working his craft, do you ever find yourself mesmerized by his ability when you should be composing?

Yes and no [laughs]. The clock always ticks, and of course, despite the deadlines, you need to sometimes just sit and ponder to be inspired. You just need to sit there and deal with the subject matter. However, in terms of amount of music, that’s not my decision. We sit and spot all the episodes with the showrunner, who tells us where he thinks music should and should not be
