Question from Bianca Ergan:
How much of the show is filmed on location and how much is filmed on a lot/on sets?

Janet's response:
We shoot 7.5 days. We spend about 5 to 6 days on our standing sets and up to 2 days on location. Location work is expensive, though. So it's always a challenge to get the company to a location.

Will Billy Burke be returning as Agent Dean this season?
