Creators Open Up On Struggles They Faced

It was quite challenging for them. But they wonderfully dealt with it.

Will The Creators Return With High Maintenance Season 5?

As of now, there’s no word on what Ben and Blichfeld are hoping to do next. In 2019, the pair adm itted that their work never satisfied them.
