The following contains MODERATE SPOILERS for the second year of "Pushing Daisies" on ABC.

The second season of ABC's fantasy series "Pushing Daisies" is quickly approaching, and it will be taking us to some truly offbeat locations.

"The setting for the first one is in, like, a Burt's Bees massive factory of bee products," Lee Pace (Ned the Piemaker) told Scifi Wire. "The killer is killing people with a swarm of bees. The second episode takes place in the circus. The third episode is at the nunnery."

Co-star Anna Friel (Chuck), who by the way was nominated for a SyFy Genre Award for Best TV Actress, said that the loving couple will be all decked out in beekeeper suits from the very first scene of the first episode.

"She gets her first-ever job at a honey factory, where she's a honey-bee girl," she said.

The second episode takes the characters to the circus, where Ned and Chuck get close without any actual touching. Friel was vague as to what exactly what happens, but apparently teddy bears are involved.

"We have great, big teddy bears that someone might be hiding in," Friel hinted.

The third episode takes them to a nunnery, noir style. It just happens that Olive Snook (Kristin Chenoweth) is living with the nuns. Ironically Snook was nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actress for "Deck the Halls" in 2007, but was also nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2008.

"The nuns are really funny. Mo Collins plays the dead nun in the nunnery episode. She plays this trash-talking nun, and she's funny, funny, funny," Pace said. "In that episode, we're having a good time with the gumshoe-solving-crimes genre. Chi McBride was doing this real serious, kind of noir, kind of William Shatner style of acting."

Episode four is the frescorts. In case you don't know, which wouldn't be surprising, frescorts are friends for hire. Believe it or not, according to Pace, such a thing does exist.

In the episode Chuck and Olive go undercover as frescorts for David Arquette's character, who knew the dead frescort.
