Elliott conveyed a strong desire for the series to continue, stating, "If it were up to me, it would not end, ever." She praised the nuanced and lifelike evolution of the characters throughout the seasons. Even after filming wrapped, Elliott continues to envision new narrative possibilities for her character, Natalie.
