- The creative team plans a more mature arc that tackles codependency and depression while keeping the show’s romance tone intact.
- In March, lead actors issued a joint statement calling out racist, homophobic, biphobic, misogynistic, ageist, ableist, and parasocial abuse from a subset of fans.
- Author Rachel Reid delayed the next novel, Unrivaled, to June 1, 2027, saying the TV show’s success and worsening Parkinson’s symptoms slowed her writing.
