The show’s cast, similarly, didn’t know the series was coming to an end until after they had already filmed their final scenes. “I think, truthfully, had we known it was really the final episode, we would have done a more full-bodied tribute to the show.”Īdds co-showrunner/EP Chris Bishop: “We would’ve dug in with a more emotional story and had more flashbacks and seeing the characters and how they grew across the decade.” “We weren’t quite positive it was going to be our finale when we wrote the final episode of the season,” co-showrunner/exec producer Alex Barnow tells TVLine.

If it felt like the episode gave some closure while leaving the door open for another season, that’s because it wasn’t originally intended to be the show’s swan song. In other relationship developments, Adam and his girlfriend Carmen drove off in his uncle’s DeLorean (hinting at a bright future for the pair?), and Barry and Joanne eloped to prove to everyone that they’re a serious couple! But after an emotional heart-to-heart with his mom, Adam came around and invited George to baby Muriel’s first birthday. Upset that his mom was moving on from his dad, Adam tried to thwart Bev and George’s potentially reignited spark so she wouldn’t end up with the wrong guy. In the finale, Adam accompanied his mom, Beverly, to her high school reunion, where she hit it off with her former boyfriend, George (played by Rob Corddry). The Goldbergs clan is officially out of videotape : The long-running ABC comedy wrapped up its 10-season run on Wednesday with a Back to the Future-themed series ender, appropriately titled “Bev to the Future.”
