Whether it’s unexpected romances, shifting friendships, or shake-ups in how the bar operates, the upcoming season promises to keep audiences guessing.
The Comedy Is Leveling Up
While the emotional stakes are rising, the laughs aren’t going anywhere. In fact, Peterman says the writers are leaning even harder into the ensemble’s chemistry, giving each character standout comedic moments and pairing them in new ways.
The result? Faster jokes, bigger set pieces, and the kind of group dynamics that turn a good sitcom into a great one.
