I wish I knew. If I had information, I would blast it out to everyone to verify it absolutely happens. Maybe I could start a rumor right now that we are starting production in the fall, manifesting!

In season 2, the Monterey Five returned, but this time, they were under the gaze of Meryl Streep’s Mary Louise Wright, who wanted to know the truth behind her son’s death. The season ended and some character arcs concluded but there were enough loose ends for the audience to demand a third installment.
