Chatting to E! News, Mae explained: "My co-writer Joe Hampson is very principled about—I think it's a very British thing as well to do short series, and then walk away. The British Office, I think, is two seasons and so, yeah, he's quite strict... It's really nice to just leave it as it is too and walk away."
