In an exclusive interview with Netflix’s Tudum, series creator Debora Cahn expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “I’m so excited about Season 4. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” Cahn highlighted the show’s ability to continually raise the stakes and engage audiences, saying, “I always think, ‘Well, there’s no way that we can do this again,’ and then we dig back into it.”
