After admitting that they were “obviously surprised” that this spinoff was canceled, they revealed that they would not have ended on a cliffhanger. That said, what did they plan to do in Season 4?

The trio was asked what was asked about Maggie Shaw. First, the trio admitted that they didn’t have all the details. However, they had a “general idea” about Maggie’s storyline. Moreover, Maggie’s storyline was going to include Jane Tennant and her mother. This was hinted in the mid-season. But they did not share any real details about Jane’s mother.

In addition, they planned to return to “the dark world of Tennant’s spy past, using those stories to increase our understanding of who Jane was, but also to learn more about her team in the process.”

Also, they wanted to move the Lucy and Kate relationship forward.
