Executive producer Joseph Chou revealed that Sano wants the series to return for more episodes. "Yeah, he has a lot of things that he actually wants to do, if he's given the opportunity to do another one. So [the] hard part is not what to make, it's like, what to do. Like, what can I do? It's really hard part is what do I choose in terms of the things that I wanna do? Because it's just the kind of freedom that's given to do the show." said Chou.
