The Newsroom is shifting gears in its second season, as evidenced by a new preview from HBO.

Season 2 "has a different structure than the first season," creator Aaron Sorkin says, teasing the central arc as all of the characters prepare to be deposed in a wrongful termination lawsuit.

This isn't to say the individual storylines of The Newsroom Season 1 will be abandoned.

Jim (John Gallagher, Jr.) will be following the Mitt Romney campaign, as Neil (Dev Patel) focuses on the burgeoning Occupy movement and Maggie (Alison Pill) is engulfed by crises.
