Applegate recently told the New York Times:
“I had an obligation to Liz [Feldman, creator and showrunner] and to Linda [Cardellini], to our story,” The actress said. “The powers that be were like, ‘Let’s just stop. We don’t need to finish it. Let’s put a few episodes together.’ I said, ‘No. We’re going to do it, but we’re going to do it on my terms.'”
