All the noise surrounding the comedy-drama, Transparent was finally brought to a close as leading star, Jeffrey Tambor was ousted from the show from the latest season following allegations of sexual harassment.

The premiere of the series finale almost felt like a family reunion of the Pfefferman clan. Matriarch Judith Light embraced each one of her TV children (Gaby Hoffman, Amy Landecker and Jay Duplass) and guest stars from previous seasons (Cherry Jones, Melora Hardin, Bradley Whitford) who also turned up for a group photo to commemorate the occasion. But there was one person that was noticeably missing: Jeffrey Tambor, the Emmy-winning actor who portrayed the titular characters, Maura Pfefferman,

Creator Jim Soloway said, “I think because of all the chaos — and all of the ways in which our show had to re-examine who we were — having a musical gave us a new path forward, a new reason to be. This isn’t just like putting a button on the series,” she said. “It’s kind of like transitioning — twirling and flying into a new direction.”

We probably haven’t seen the last of the Pfeffermans, as it turns out; Soloway shared tentative plans for the next family get-together. “I would love to do a sequel, a tri-quel, a Pfefferman family cruise for the Jewish high holidays, whatever! I’ll do anything,” she said before catching the eye of a biological family member. “Oh my God, look at my mom dragging around John Cameron Mitchell. That’s the sweetest thing,” she said, pointing out her mother and the actor who created “Hedwig: The Musical.”
