McKidd stated he would readily step back into acting or directing, having already directed more than 45 episodes, including the recent season 22 finale. He plans to return to Los Angeles after completing a miniseries in London, potentially directing early episodes of the next season.
McKidd reflected on Owen and Teddy's departure to Paris, describing the ending as hopeful and a message about rebirth and recommitting to each other. He noted that Owen saving a family during a bridge collapse in the finale symbolized healing from past trauma, closing a loop from his time in Iraq. The actor also discussed Owen's intentional design as a polarizing character, created to provoke strong audience reactions and debate.
