“I think we’re on the same page about it,” she said to Variety, referring to creator Jacob Tierney.
“Obviously, the focus has to stay on Ilya and Shane. We’re not going to do Season 2 and it’s a totally different couple. It wouldn’t be very popular. Not that we weren’t expecting it, but I think we’re all surprised at how popular Scott and Kip were,” she explained.
“So now it’s, ‘OK, how do you get more Scott and Kip?’ I think it’s going to be mostly The Long Game. Jacob’s already said that in interviews, but there’s another book Role Model that kind of overlaps it. So I’m hoping that we’ll get both stories told at the same time. I don’t think there’s another way you could do it. I’m hoping we get more episodes.”
“I’d go as high as 12, but maybe if it was just eight or 10, that would be nice,” she added.
