I’m leaving something that is a huge part of my life. Even though it’s my decision, it still wasn’t an easy one.”

But, according to Berk, the Hollywood’s actors and writers strike meant that Netflix was lacking new original content, and so, unexpectedly to him at least, renewed the reality TV series.
