What they did this year was amazing. They made this entire show during COVID.\u201d<\/p> <p>He added: \u201cWe shot the entire thing for two weeks. We wrote every script so that we could change the story so that we could do it with different actors but they made it themselves. I was here in Los Angeles and Liz was up there with executive producer Elisabeth Moss with all that experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on to say of the fifth series: \u201cThe team made an incredible TV show. So I\u2019m not so quick to say, \u2018Oh, you know, let\u2019s just, walk away.\u2019 I don\u2019t know how you felt about the pandemic, but I certainly learned the things of my life that are pretty rare and working with these people is one of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, honestly, yes, I know what the end is and I\u2019m not going to overstay my welcome but I\u2019m also not going to rush off if I don\u2019t have to because as long as I am writing for Elisabeth Moss, you know, it really doesn\u2019t get much better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether the story continues past its confirmed fifth season or not, we hope June finds some peace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something else to watch?
