While there's no word yet on whether there will be a season two, Addiss and Matthews said in an interview with IGN that they always planned to make three seasons.
"We have a very specific three-season plan, and we think we know the last shot of the last scene of the last episode," Addiss said.
He continued: "How we get there might change a little, but we have the answers to all the questions, and a plan of how and when to answer those. We wanted season one to feel emotionally complete, but leave some questions unanswered."
Opening up about season one, Addiss said they wanted it to feel like a "full story" in case the show isn't renewed.
If the show is a success, he said: "We'd like to tell you a bit more about what's going on. What is Mother? We know the answer to that. We want to tell you, so hopefully people watch so we get that chance."
Asked if the three-season plan would be sticking to the Mother plot, Addiss replied: "Oh, we didn't say that. You always want something new.

"We don't think of it as a monster-of-the-season show. We do think of this as one large, complex story where crazy stuff continues to happen that's surprising, but it is one story to us."
Later in the interview, the creators were asked what the theme of season two would be, with Addiss saying: "What would you do with a second chance?
