Could Somebody Somewhere Come Back Someday?

The series finale of Somebody Somewhere aired on HBO Sunday night, but Bridget Everett isn’t ready to let go just yet. “In my mind, the characters are still going,” the star and writer says of her alter ego Sam and the friends and family who reside in the show’s version of Manhattan, Kansas. “I just can’t stop dreaming about the world.”

So, is it possible the show could come back, maybe for a follow-up movie or on another network? “I honestly do believe that it’s a miracle we got to do it in the first place,” she says. “I know I’ve said it a thousand times, but I do believe HBO is the only place that would do it.”

However, she’s not ruling out the possibility of another network or streamer swooping in to save the day: “Who would I be to say no to an opportunity to finish telling the story, however that may happen?”

Everett gives no indication that other outlets have expressed interest in picking up the series, which HBO dropped in August (production on season three wrapped in the spring). She says she’s aware of a change.org petition fans are circulating that demands HBO bring the show back. (As of this writing, it has more than 13,000 signatures.) And Everett has more story in mind. She knows what would happen in the future between Sam and her Nordic crush “Iceland” (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) after the events in the finale, but she isn’t telling.

“If there’s a world where we ever got to do a movie or anything, I want to save that for that,” she says. “And if not, I’ll write a book. I’ll just write a memoir, then make the Somebody Somewhere chapter say what I think would happen.”

In the meantime, Everett continues to mourn the end of a series she calls “one of the most meaningful experiences of my entire life,” joking, “It feels like it’s going to be all downhill after this.”
