The series is set in Everett’s real-life hometown of Manhattan, Kansas. The show is deeply personal in other ways, as well. Everett told NPR that the death of her sister inspired the series, partly because she was unable to visit her before she died.

“I was waiting tables at the time. I barely had two pennies to rub together and I couldn’t go see her at the end. And I’ve kind of never forgiven myself for it. So this is a way to honor her in a way that I wasn’t able to before,” Everett explained.

Everett also told NPR that the audience who supports the show is the reason the series has the opportunity to enjoy a third season at all. “The fact that we even got a pilot felt like a miracle,” she explained. “And every time we got greenlit for another season, it felt like a miracle. It’s a small show with a small audience on a small budget. And we have a very loyal and loving audience.”

Everett hasn’t shared what her plans are once the series ends. For now, she is enjoying where the show has taken her so far.
