• The May 4 Season 5 finale will serve as the series finale, with no plans to shop the show or its spinoff to other networks or platforms.
• Queen Latifah, who starred as Robyn McCall and served as an executive producer, expressed gratitude to fans and hinted at future projects.
• The series, a reimagining of the 1980s classic, was notable for its representation, with Latifah as one of the few Black women leading a primetime network drama.
