I'd like to tell all of you something.

They won't be doing a time-jump backwards. They're most likely staying 2016 for the whole season. And if he went a time-jump back, then we wouldn't know the rest of the details of 2016, and then everybody would be like 'what happened after (insert date), 2016!' and everything. So they have to do the whole season 2 for 2016, and if they DO do a time-jump backwards, it would be during season 3.
