The creator of A Million Little Things responds to whether the show could return after season 5. Since its debut in 2018, A Million Little Things has seen a bevy of new arrivals and departures to go along with several plot twists. It seemed that, no matter what happened to the central group of friends in Boston and their families, there was always more story to tell. That possibility of an always-growing narrative seemed to be put to an end when ABC announced its decision to end the show back in November.
