The stars of Nikita have hinted that Nikita and Michael’s romantic reunion could be short-lived.

Executive producer Craig Silverstein previously teased that future episodes will test the pair’s repaired relationship.

Shane West (Michael) told TV Line: “It’s very easy to bring two people together, and it’s very hard to pull them apart, [but] having these two characters together now is going to be difficult.”

Maggie Q (Nikita) added that showrunner Silverstein “wants to create friction” between the couple, who are on the run from a revamped Division.

“[He’ll] gut them, then make them happy, and then gut them again,” she suggested. “That’s his plan.”

Maggie Q recently claimed that Michael and Nikita will face “new threats” in the upcoming second season.

“It’s not just Division now,” she said. “I think you’re going to see Percy (Xander Berkeley) go into a different world. You’re going to see Amanda (Melinda Clarke) be in a different world with Alex [and] there are going to be other threats that pop up too.”

Nikita will return to The CW in the fall, airing in a new slot on Fridays at 8/7c.
