Jeff Rake expressed his gratitude to fans and Netflix for their commitment to bringing the series to a proper ending after its cancellation left fans with many unanswered questions.
“What started years ago as a flight of fancy deep bin my imagination has evolved into the jet engine journey of a lifetime,” Rake said. “Never in my wildest dreams could I have envisioned the worldwide outpouring of love and support for this try, its characters, and the team who work so hard to bring it all to life. That we will be able to reward fans with the ending they deserve moves me to no bend.
