I think it's safe to say we're done with the Jimmi Simpson version of William. The sweet-natured and naive park newbie turns into the dark and dangerous Man in Black over the course of the show (and three decades or so), and that arc is now complete (Simpson himself has said he won't be back for Season 2).

But what about the present William, aka the MIB? He's still there at the end, he still owns the park, and as far as we know he's still alive (yes, he got shot, but didn't seem too perturbed by it, and we don't see him die).

Could this version of William have another big role in things for Season 2? More of Ed Harris would be extremely welcome, but it's not clear what his story would be beyond this point.
