According to “Black-ish” showrunner Courtney Lilly, discussions about the finale began last season, given that it wasn’t clear at that time how many more seasons the show would run.
“We had early conversations about where the Johnson family would go. And if I remember correctly, I believe one of our executive producers, Laura Peterson, who talked about the family moving back to a Black neighbourhood,” she said. “That was completing the circle.”

The Guardian on Friday that he is less than pleased with how the April 10 series finale played out, saying the final episode took him “aback” and lamenting that it was “bowing to convention.”SPOILERS for the series finale:Everything appears to be ending on a high note as Villanelle (Jodie Comer) and Eve (Sandra Oh) finally share a real kiss — until the final moments when Villanelle is gunned down and killed, with Eve left screaming. Jennings notes that he was advised of the decision to kill off the colorful assassin ahead of time, and knew fans would be upset, particularly since TV shows kill off their LGBTQ characters so frequently that it’s become a well-known trope.“A truly subversive storyline would have defied the trope which sees same-sex lovers in TV dramas permitted only the most fleeting of relationships before one of them is killed off (Lexa’s death in ‘The 100,’ immediately after sleeping with her female love interest for the first time, is another example).
Killing Eve author Luke Jennings has criticised the finale of the TV series for “bowing to convention”.After four seasons, the series concluded earlier this month in a finale that saw Eve (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer) infiltrate a meeting of The Twelve on the Dixie Queen boat. However, the latter is fatally shot before they jump into the Thames together.Jennings, who wrote 2017’s Codename Villanelle on which the series is based, has since called out the show’s ending for adhering to the trope of killing off same-sex lovers.“When Phoebe Waller-Bridge and I first discussed Villanelle’s character five years ago, we agreed that she was defined by what Phoebe called her ‘glory’: her subversiveness, her savage power, her insistence on lovely things,” Jennings wrote in the Guardian.
