Freema Agyeman, Aml Ameen, Doona Bae, Jamie Clayton, Tina Desai, Daryl Hannah, Tuppence Middleton, Max Riemelt, Miguel Ángel Silvestre and Brian J. Smith, whose characters all share a birthday, celebrated it today with the renewal announcement.
Previously, the network and producers had refused to tip their hand at the TCAs, making it seem as though the show’s future was uncertain. Perhaps it was all an orchestrated viral marketing maneuver, though, given the convenience of the 8/8 birthday schtick.
