Transparent’s finale, a feature-length musical, is expected to air this fall, the Los Angeles Times reports, roughly two years since allegations of harassment against star Jeffrey Tambor put the Amazon series’ future in jeopardy. Tambor denied the allegations and eventually departed, sparking ample speculation as to how the show would handle the loss of the actor’s transgender Maura Pfefferman, whose late-in-life transition forms the spine of the series. Inspired, perhaps, by The Conners’ handling of Roseanne Barr, it appears they’ve chosen to kill her off.
