After eight episodes of Old Miles trying to figure out how he can coexist with the cloned and better version of himself, Netflix's"I like these characters and I wanted them to have happy endings — whatever that means," creator Timothy Greenberg tellsabout the finale's unconventional resolution. Then clarifying, "I would actually say 'satisfied' endings; it’s not always happy.
"Paul had never done TV before. He was very leery of getting into some open-ended thing and playing a character forever," says Greenberg. "I wrote the story that I had in mind. We did tweak it a bit so that it could be the one season, and then we’ll just see where it goes from there. I have ideas for what could be future seasons. But we definitely talked about how we wanted it to have an arc this season that was entire unto itself.
"You would absolutely need to open it up and do something different. This premise as it is, you can’t just keep going like this. I’m happy to say that people seem interested in these characters and want to know what happens to them. But you can’t keep doing the, 'Oh, you’re the better one and I’m the worse one' in the same way, because I feel like we’ve covered that particular area," he said of the core Old Miles vs. New Miles tension of this season.
"That [final scene] was one scene I really looked forward to shooting more than anything, just the moment of it all hitting Miles," Dayton tells. "We talked a lot about that and the staging and how he walks away, and you don’t know what he’s going to do. And then he turns around and looks at both of them and then this smile comes on his face.
No matter what the future holds — imaginary blue skies or a second season — Rudd says he wanted this season to be one "that would be emotionally satisfying" for audiences. "We wanted it to feel like that was a complete experience and, great if it feels right to do more, but we really wanted it to feel like it had an ending," adds Faris.
