- The showrunner added that the characters can be considered present off‑camera even when they do not appear on screen.
- Dynevor has expressed willingness to return if asked, while Page has previously played down the prospect of coming back.
- Brownell told People she has not spoken with Page about a return and said she hopes to involve former leads in later seasons if the story warrants it.
