Showrunner Spoke About The Bold Type Season 5 Possibilities

In an interview, the showrunner, Wendy Straker, explained that they have planning to perform things differently in the next season. Now, they have an opportunity to resolve every story arc of their characters, especially Kat and Sutton, in a different way. Since they have some unfinished stories to be done with. Also, everything around them is completely messed up. But, it’s the best time to narrate all the possible events that they haven’t portrayed yet.

Wendy said: “We just had so many unfinished stories. So, I guess on some level. It became a big cliffhanger. This sort of moment, at least for Kat and Sutton (is a tough time). And then, you were going to have an opportunity to process that and adjust to it and then move in a different (direction). And we didn’t get that opportunity.”

However, the network hasn’t renewed The Bold Type Season 5 yet. But, Wendy said they need to discuss it with the network, since they require more episodes to explain their storyline. She said: “Should we get the fifth season? And I think we’re all just going to sit down and have a lot of real conversations. And figure out if we want to make changes to certain storylines. I think it’s going to be interesting.”
