The series has remained steamy this season, with Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton even accidentally breaking a piece of furniture while filming a sex scene. Season 4 was renewed in 2022, and showrunner Jess Brownell teased that they’ll “work as fast as humanly possible to deliver it,” but that she “wish[es she] I could have it arrive sooner.”
“We always hope to reach the fans sooner, but I don’t know if it’s possible,” he explained. “In this show, each episode is like producing a feature film. He’s so involved with so many characters. There are so many plots we’re trying to break and weave that writing and producing takes longer than any other show I’ve ever heard of.”
