So we had to quickly recalibrate and start brainstorming.
If we’re going to explore whether Amy’s coming back, do we even want to?"
Had you all previously thought about how the show might end?
That was a challenge, how to do that believably.
Fortunately, she was willing to do it and was great.
How did you decide on the story of closing Cloud 9?
GREEN:That felt like a real thing that is happening with stores a lot now, unfortunately.
It felt true to the reality.
That seems to be happening more and more.
So part of it was honoring that reality.
That was already part of our plan, but we just adapted that for the series finale.
You’ve got a large cast of characters.
Whose ending was the hardest to figure out?
We had a whole story line of Glenn helping him get the job at GameStop.
So are you all telling me Elias is a serial killer?
MILLER:Yeah, I would recommend staying away from him.
Ultimately, how are you all feeling walking away from the show?
Are there any stories you’re particularly bummed you didn’t get to tell?
GREEN:We have an overall feeling of having tons more that we could’ve done with these characters.
This is such a great ensemble, and there are so many great characters.
It definitely didn’t feel like we were done telling stories with them.
That seemed like a fun setup for some romantic and comedic stories.
With every character I think we could name stuff.
We had sort of barely started to see their potential.
It was a dream experience in so many ways.
We feel very lucky to have had six seasons with these characters and this amazing cast.
