"So I signed on for six seasons at that point," she said. "I mean, you’re broke, you’ve got nothing else going on. My lawyer was like, 'You do realise this is shooting in Scotland? You’ll be there for a year for the first season?' I was like, 'A year’s great, a change of scenery, I’m not doing much in LA anyway.' Yeah, I didn’t realise I’d still be there almost eight and a half years later."
The news about the show's future comes just days after the trailer for season six was released.
