“But most of all, without fail, I shall remember the dancing," she continued. "That’s how love goes. #serieswrap.”

O.T. Fagbenle and Madeline BrewerCreator and showrunner Bruce Miller explained in a November 2022 conversation with DigitalSpy that he wanted to extend the novel’s narrative beyond its abrupt ending.
“Everybody's like, ‘Who do you think you are, writing more?’ I’m like, ‘Oh my God, it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do, to write the rest.’ Because it’s like: what the hell happened?! Oh my God — it’s the most infuriating ending,” he told the outlet.
“It’s something we never get with just the way the business is set up,” he said. “And also, more importantly, not something everyone would give to the audience.”
While Miller said the series will conclude on their “own terms,” he is not serving as showrunner on the final season, instead staying on as an executive producer and writer. Variety reported in March 2023, that Miller turned his focus to the series’ spinoff, The Testaments.
