Shur teased that season two will also start to feature people who died at more advanced ages. Most of the show’s characters in the first season died in their 30s.
“We had this weird realization that you couldn’t have anyone in the afterlife under about 30-ish, because it was too sad,” Shur told the Times. “But the problem is, you’re trying to highlight Eleanor’s relationships, most of which are going to be with people roughly her own age. So what ends up happening is it looks like everyone’s the same age. There are significant plans underway already for Season 2 to alter some of that.”
Shur told the Times that the final episodes of season one do hint at where the show can go in the future. They could finally take the audience outside the neighborhood set up by Ted Danson’s Michael.
