Much of the series’ drama hinged on the relationship between Masters and Johnson, and it’s rumored that the Showtime executives felt that the Season 4 finale — which saw the two characters finally marry one another — served as a perfect send-off for the highly regarded series.
Masters of Sex will undoubtedly be remembered for its stylish and edgy content.
Loosely biographical in nature, the series followed Dr. William Masters (Michael Sheen) and Virginia Johnson (Lizzy Caplan) as they conducted research in the field of human sexuality in the 1950s and 1960s — hence the title of the series.
