**Rebecca Rittenhouse Talks About Maggie’s Future**

The series was created by Justin Adler of the Life In Pieces fame. In an interview, Rittenhouse discussed the potential for Season 2 before the official announcement came in confirming the cancellation. She said, “I would love to see her use her powers maybe in a different way. Maybe she thinks it’s a better way to use them, but maybe it’s ultimately not a better way, I don’t know. Maybe she tries to play matchmaker and that could blow up in a fun way. It’s all about putting her in uncomfortable situations.”

Talking about how she landed the role, Rittenhouse further added, “I heard about it, it was floating around town. Then it came to me and it was spring of 2021, and I just felt like it was such a breath of fresh air.”

Will Some Other Network Renew The Series In The Future?

Maggie is a psychic navigating through the topsy-turvy dating world. Her gift gives her access to the future of her clients, parents, friends, and even random street folks. However, things start to take a turn in her life after she starts seeing glimpses of her very own future after meeting a stranger. Not just that, her romantic life gets all the more complicated with so much going on. It is hard to fall in love when one knows what the future holds for the relationship.
