"I knew going into it that this was likely going to be our final season," series creator and showrunner Chris Sheridan told TV Insider, as quoted by Variety.
"Creatively, that was exciting because I knew we could spend the time wrapping up some storylines and driving toward an ending. I'm so proud of how good Season 4 is and especially proud that we were able to finish as strongly as we did, with a finale that is probably my favorite episode of the series," added Sheridan as quoted by the outlet, reprted Variety.
Sheridan also promised that the Season 4 finale gives the series "a very satisfying ending while also leaving the door cracked open for any future this world may have. I can't wait for everyone to see it," as quoted by Variety.
