In the quote below, the actor reveals thatthe plan was for the story to run for six seasonsand he adds that there remains a possibility the show will end up elsewhere. Read the quote below:
It was a bit of a shock. We always thought we had about six seasons in us. But the strike didn’t help. We went through COVID, and the strike, and we still were able to get four seasons out of it. I think we probably would have six seasons, for sure. It would have been just as we planned.
But, yeah, it was a shock. It took a moment. My team called me and I was like, “Whoa.” I just had to sit down for a bit, because it’s such a big part of my world. You shoot a television show with people for five or six months out of the year, for five seasons, or four seasons. You get used to this life, and the character, and you get attached to certain things. It was tough, and I think we all are still licking our wounds, because we enjoyed the show so much. But we just have to look forward and see what happens. There’s a possibility someone else might pick it up. We had a great run.
