I was well on my way through the stages of grief to process the premature ending of the story.
Now I am basking in the rebirth of the show.
It’s unfortunate Netflix didn’t pick up the show.
But that was 10longdays ago.
Since then we remain at the top of Netflix’s watch list.
A lot of them didn’t even realize that there’s a third season sitting over on Hulu.
It’s so crazy and convoluted.
Fans are also hearing the show is incomplete and remains incomplete.
I take that as a positive sign.
So are you holding out for a new season?
Back in the day, I laid out a six-season roadmap for NBC, and I’m halfway through.
I just need a modest budget to tell the story.
That’s where my head is at.
That’s very comprehensive.
How have you engaged the fans in the meantime?
The fans have been coordinating live-tweeting parties.
Every day of the week at a certain time, fans press play at the same time on episodes.
We’ve been trending!
Looking back, what was it like seeing your show get canceled by NBC?
I feel all of that personally.
I feel it on behalf of the fans who have kept the show alive.
So all of that hurts tremendously.
I can’t take it personally.
There are many, many factors in play.
I understand that hard decisions have to be made.
AsI told our fans on social media, it may take a long time to figure that path out.
It could be a year, and full disclosure, it may never happen!
But I’m not going to stop trying.
