Meanwhile, Steve talked about something more specific than a Season 2 and leaned towards special episodes, like a holiday story, as some other popular shows have done. He commented:

“It would be fun to do a Christmas special. You know, one of those British-style Christmas specials with the Dead Boys and all their various traditions. So everyone should tell Netflix that’s what people want”.
