Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Feldman defined why the present solely went on for 3 seasons, saying:
“I always knew that it was going to be a short-lived show. I wanted three or four seasons, but I’m realistic in terms of where the show lives. It lives on a platform that doesn’t traditionally give more than three or four, or sometimes even one or two, seasons. I wanted the ending to feel important and not just, like, “Oh shit, we’re going to get canceled!””
Christina Applegate echoed these sentiments when the collection was first renewed for a remaining season saying:
“I will miss these ladies. But we felt this was the best way to tie up the story of these women. Thank you to all the fans.”
On Twitter on the day of the third season’s launch, Liz Feldman posted her heartfelt gratitude of followers on the journey.
