Background
Netflix renewed the series for a second season four days after its premiere; the second season arrived on July 17, 2015, the third on July 22, 2016, the fourth on September 8, 2017 and the fifth on September 14, 2018, each with twelve episodes. A one-off Christmas special was released on December 19, 2014. The first season was written as a self-contained story in case the show was not renewed; Netflix asked Bob-Waksberg to leave some threads hanging, and he asked in return to be warned in advance if the show were ever cancelled so he could end it properly. After the fifth season Netflix told him the sixth would be the last, and an extended final season of sixteen episodes was released in two parts, on October 25, 2019 and January 31, 2020.
