Back in 2018, Erica Messer, the show's Executive Producer, celebrated the 300th episode! "It is a world that has endless stories because it's based on the psychology of human behavior—that's endless," Messer reflected. "As long as we have heroes who want to keep chasing the bad guys I feel like we could keep going, and going, and going."
It is hard to see the long-time characters depart after growing so close, and even harder to imagine them playing any other role.
