Showrunners Martin Gero and Dean Georgaris told TVLine in an interview tied to the Season 2 finale that while they were still early in the process of Season 3, they knew the shape of it — where it would go and how it would end. With Addison (Caitlin Bassett) and Ben (Raymond Lee) now able to “physically occupy the same space, and having gone through a year of learning, it really blows open the doors for us as to what to do,” Gero said before the show’s cancellation. The EP felt “really good” about where the show could go, in a “surprising and fun” way.
"We know what the shape would be for Season 3, where it would go and how it would end," Gero explained. "We like to have these seasons feel like standalone novels in a series of books you really love and so, this season had a real beginning, middle and end, and always that little epilogue that is like, 'This is where we're going in the future.' We know the shape of what the Season 3 book would be."
Geogaris, meanwhile, teased a more lighthearted dynamic if they'd gotten the opportunity to continue.
"We've spent two seasons building up two great leapers and a supporting cast that now may or may not have a code that may or may not work again to pull people out, and it really becomes about what can we affirmatively do with this new dynamic," he said. "The fact that we can have a little more humor now because we don't have this heaviness hanging over us. We spent two seasons building up a launchpad to a whole new journey."
