'Helix' plays God in this exclusive art for season 2

The first season of Syfy’s Helix was mostly set in the hermetic hell of an Arctic laboratory, but the upcoming second season promises to open up the show’s paranoid thrills. Leaving behind the snowy milieu for a mysterious island, the CDC will find themselves contending with a cultish group of people (led by Steven Weber!)

In EW‘s exclusive key art for the new season, you get a sense for the new setting, with an evocative image that suggests things can only get worse for the characters.

Helix returns for a 13-episode second season on Jan. 16.
