Showrunner Craig Mazin had earlier revealed that he plans to create multiple seasons for the show; however, he does not want to continue the series endlessly. “I never want to feel like they’re just filling time to create more show. We’re all too smart, we know it when we see it,” he said in an interview.

“And for me also, I have no interest in creating a television series that is designed to go on forever. I love endings. And I don’t know what the point of anything is if it isn’t all wrapped together in a perfect circle of beginning to end,” Mazin added.
