The series finale was ultimately a celebration, executive producer Grant Hill says.
Below, Hill breaks down what it was like to put together a feature-length finale.
We had, obviously, a lot of support from very vocal fans, and they felt it.

We had a locked finish date, and we didnt have a script.
The finale special is about two hours and 30 minutes long.
Youre traveling, your production values are high; its a big long film.

And once you realize that then it becomes easier.
Speaking of locations, how did you decide that Paris would be the final location of this global story?
Berlin has always been our base and this time, our schedule was the same.

So it was a natural progression to say, All right, well lets go.
But we had a fantastic French crew and they pulled some strings.
They gave us provisional permission to use the city, and we just went with it.
What was it like pulling that together?We only had it for six hours.
The weather just broke for two hours and then it started to rain again.
It was a lot of tears at the end.
It was a finale, and thats in itself emotional.
We knew where we were going, we knew how long we had.
When you put it together, it was just sort of one long celebration.
That said, the plot did tie up some loose ends.
And one of the things that came out of it was that ending.
It worked out spectacularly well.
Its a really nice, uplifting sequence I think.
What would you say was the most satisfying scene for you to work on, to capture?
That very final montage is a montage of sex scenes thats all about love.
We want it to feel hopeful.
Theres nothing more complicated than that.
And I think you know, again, it has a very positive message.
And I think that this worked out so wonderfully well.
I think this is its natural arc, you know?
It really did feel like a celebration.
Anything else youd like to add?Im just looking forward to seeing peoples reactions.
