ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Is doorman Lester going to be the main murder case next season?
That’s what I want you to feel.

I feel the same way, and I think the trio feels the same way.
We’re always looking for ways into, what’s the new angle?
What’s the new territory we haven’t hit before?

How is this investigation going to compare to what we’ve seen the trio tackle the past four seasons?
It’s always really important to me that the personal is located quickly for our trio.
Their own history with Lester, all of them will be leaning into that.

So there’s lots of ways it goes, and it gets very complex.
We also meet surprise guest star Tea Leoni’s Sofia Caccimelio, a.k.a.
the wife of missing and presumed dead Nicky “The Neck” Caccimelio.
I just love her.
She then vaguely says something about how Nicky has everything to do with their building.
What does she mean?
That’s a biggie.
Yes, his disappearance has everything to do with this building, in her mind.
There may be a connection, the trio is quick to think there has to be a connection.
What is the source of that, that Sofia is saying?
What was going on in that building that could hold all of this?"
So that’s where we’re going.
How much are we going to see Sofia next season?
Is Tea going to be a series regular?
Is Meryl going to return next season?
Or is Loretta going to be in production in New Zealand the entire time?
hey don’t kill her," throughout the finale?
I thought either you were going to kill her or she and Oliver were going to break up.
I thought something terrible was going to happen but they got married and both survived.
[Laughs] That was the goal.
Can you even kill off Meryl?
I can’t do it.
I may soon, I may somewhere along the way, but not yet.
I just love her on the show and she’s become such an incredible presence within our world.
That relationship of Loretta and Oliver is so rare and beautiful to me.
You’ll come in a couple of weeks."
Should we still be worried that they can’t make long-distance work, immediately after tying the knot?
They’re laughing, but underneath it’s like, “Oh, no.
Don’t tell me they’re going to do this.”
It’s a good thing.
I’m sorry, I know.
I had to learn to embrace it.
After Jan kills Marshall, she tells Charles that they’re “endgame.”
And he actually seemed into it!
What can you reveal about their potential future now that she’s gone back to prison?
Charles is, I want to say, a slight bit turned on.
So who knows what that means?
How many more seasons do you want this show to run?
There’s no part of me that would ever rush to wrap this one up.
