After the celebration, the couple eventually stopped being in touch. In October 2020, Adams said Radio Times that “pure fear” was preventing him from calling his former costar back.

“After our kids were born, there were some messages and gifts, but I guess I’m a little scared,” he explained. “I think it’s pure fear. I guess I’m afraid of the idea of ​​breaking through every wall there is to have that conversation.”

In July, Nielsen reported that the drama, which originally aired on USA Network, set a new record as the most-watched purchased streaming title nearly four years after the series finale.
