Cast members express interest in renewal

Rufus Sewell told Decider that he is hoping for another season. Allison Janney also spoke to Entertainment Weekly about her desire to continue the show. The cast generally supports returning after the dramatic conclusion of the current run.

Showrunner plans character development

Debora Cahn stated she has a plan for where characters end up in future episodes. She told Deadline that she wants the series to remain a living document rather than a rerun. The creator noted she is unsure how closely she will stick to her initial outline.

Season five content remains uncertain

The writers have material from the G7 summit finale to work with for the next season. Cahn mentioned that the audience expects growth rather than a glorified rerun of previous events. No official renewal has been announced by the network yet.
