14. What will happen in Travelers season 3? Theories?
Some fans online have suggested that the traumatic events of season 2’s ending could be Philip hallucinating, though many believe this would be poor use of the “it was all a dream” trope. Suggestions that 0001 kidnapping the group is the catalyst for the creation of The Faction have been swirling around as well. In a recent interview, Travelers showrunner, Brad Wright said “The theme of Season 3 is AI." This could very well signal a huge change in The Director as we know it.
