Jane's real identity on "Blindspot" Season 2 is about to get some clarity as the show is reportedly planning to incorporate several flashback episodes that will have viewers learning about her childhood. The writers' room has started working through this storylines as filming is expected to roll in a few weeks.
"Blindspot" Season 2 is looking to cast a young Jane who is going to figure in several episodes throughout the upcoming season. The child actress they want to cast should be about 9 or 10-years-old and she must also be skilled in martial arts or gymnastics. The girl must also have "flawless South African" accent, per TV Line.
Based on these details, it looks like Jane's backstory could reveal that she has been trained to fight and groomed by a mercenary group as a little girl. It also supports that the faction she belongs to as an even bigger threat to the world.
