That’s always where it was headed is like, what do these kids do? What does this family do when their rock is gone?” “Whatever the circumstances may be, [it] definitely felt like, ‘Okay, we’re coming in for a landing,’” he added, acknowledging the drama around Kevin‘s exit. “It definitely felt different.” “He’s a big presence, man, guy’s an icon,” Luke shared. “So not having him around to set felt a little different.

But as always, I mean, we’re a big family now. It was just as special and hopefully, the fans will be able to connect with the story just as much … I think they will be able to.” Luke also spoke to the possibility of the show continuing after the end of the season.
