“When the show ended, there was this immediate conversation of, like, ‘What are you doing next?" Levy said at Max & Helen’s, per The Hollywood Reporter,

“God forbid I nap,” he added. “For me, it was like, I needed to take a minute because I knew what the show meant to me and I knew what it meant to other people. And having a show of your own, you’re so proud of what you make, and if you’re lucky enough to get, in our case, six seasons of a TV show, you walk away from that really proud of what you’ve done."

"Because you’re constantly going to be comparing it to the one that came before," he said. "So I needed the dust to settle.”
