It’s solely been a number of days because the A Million Little Things sequence finale aired (on May 3), however likelihood is you’re already questioning if that was actually the final time you’ll see the pal group and their family members. After all, there’s loads of stuff to discover within the 15 years we didn’t see with the time leap in addition to after with the group and their children. So, what are the probabilities we do?
“I’d love to do it. I’d love to do it. I think, not now,” creator DJ Nash tells TV Insider. “I think we’ve told the stories we need to tell, but are you asking me if, in a situation that would financially benefit this group, we could all come together and hang out again? We found a way to hang out with our friends and get paid. I love this family so much. If it meant that we could work with the same actors, same crew, same directors, same writers, I would do it.”
That being stated, he continues, “I think we all are ready for new stories for a little while, but if you’re asking whether it could all be a dream and Gary’s [James Roday Rodriguez] fine, probably not that.”
It was within the penultimate episode that Gary discovered he was dying from most cancers; the sequence then got here full circle within the finale after beginning with a suicide (Jon’s) and ended with an assisted suicide. Then got here the time leap.
“I will say, Gary recorded a lot of footage that we didn’t see,” showrunner Terrence Coli factors out. “Fifteen years’ worth of footage for Javi to watch. So there’s a lot of stuff out there in our minds.”
But was that goodbye to Gary for Rodriguez? “Yeah, he’s toast,” he says (as we anticipate from the actor who performed the character who was joking on the finish when his associates wanted that). “I guess he could pop up in somebody’s dream or something, but we’ve already done that, too, with Jon. So I think it’s probably best just to let Gary rest and let the rest of the friend group live the rest of their lives holding him in the regard that they hold him and living for themselves and a little bit for him.”
But for Nash, the truth that followers could wish to see extra of any kind of the pal group is what issues. “As a standup comic, which is what my roots are, you always leave the audience wanting more. So if one of the questions is, can there be more? It means we ended at the right time. And there’s always room for an encore.”
