The series showrunner, Alexi Hawley, recently opened up about what to expect in season five while at Comic-Con, explaining: "Nyla Harper is having a baby and we have a fun story with that… Aaron will be out of rookie long sleeves and into P2 so there’s lots of movement and season five will be transitional and we’ll be enriching those stories. But we’re not afraid to tell harder stories and push the edge - bad things do happen on our show."
