The show’s centralized location probably helps to keep the costs down, too, since there aren’t any massive car chases or CGI planets or other budget-busting elements.

Perhaps the most reassuring factor here is that Netflix has become notorious for cancelling series after three seasons – with obvious exceptions – which could help Mr. Iglesias’ chances of returning for another ten episodes, even if it meant a looming cancellation on the horizon.
