Creative Team
Christopher Storer, the creator of the series, will continue to serve as an executive producer. He is joined by Josh Senior, Joanna Calo, Cooper Wehde, Tyson Bidner, Matty Matheson, Hiro Murai and Rene Gube. Courtney Storer is the co-executive producer and also the culinary producer. FX Productions produces the show.
Uncertainty Before Renewal
There was some uncertainty regarding the show’s continuation. The rise in popularity of the lead actors and their busy schedules created doubts. TV critics Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan discussed on The Watch podcast that Season 4 was expected to be the final chapter. However, FX did not officially say it was ending, and that language was not used during Season 4 promotion.
Creator’s Approach to Storytelling
FX CEO John Landgraf explained that creator Christopher Storer works on the story one season at a time. Last year, Landgraf and Nick Grad had a meeting with Storer and producer Josh Senior. They offered to greenlight more than one season at once. But Storer and his team chose to work on just one season. Later, they asked for a two-season pickup, saying they had enough material.
