“This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we were hoping to tell, that we loved to tell,” Sudeikis explained. “The fact that folks will want more and are curious beyond more than what they don’t even know yet—that being Season 3—it’s flattering.”
He continued: “Maybe by May 31, once all 12 episodes of the season [have been released], they’re like, ‘Man, you know what, we get it, we’re fine. We don’t need anymore, we got it.’ But until that time comes, I will appreciate the curiosity beyond what we’ve come up with so far.”
According to the star, there have been talks of potential spin-offs and Sudeikis’ co-creators Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt and Joe Kelly are open to the idea.
