Overview
- The series finale, titled The Next Act, is now streaming on Peacock following the final batch released Dec. 8–9.
- A mystery guest from the original 1990s series appears in the final moments, designed as an emotional capstone without explicit explanation.
- Creators say the scene is intentionally open to interpretation, inviting viewers to decide what the encounter means for the main character.
- Because the guest’s availability was confirmed about two weeks before wrap, the writers prepared two versions of the ending to safeguard the plan.
- The team had long hoped to involve the franchise’s original star—earlier ideas fell through—while this season also featured a notable appearance by the actor who first played Aunt Viv.
