Emerson revealed thatSseason 5 will be exploring more about the Season 4 finale events. He hinted that the machine could still be revived in Season 5.
Emerson added that the machine will be having a new set of core principles, and with that, Root (Amy Acker) and his character Mr. Finch will have an argument about it. He also said that his character will be more obsessed with the Samaritan which will make their mission more dangerous compared to when they first started.
Emerson talked more about Season 5 and said that now that the idea of the Samaritan is plausible, they could be up against something which could potentially end humanity.

Some agents also killed Elias (Enrico Colantoni) and Dominic (Winston Duke).
