The show revolves around the story of Dr. William Masters and Virginia Johnson, two pioneering researchers of human sexuality who are trying to save their practice. Although it earned the network several Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, the ratings had been modest since its 2013 debut so the studio boss felt there was no need to add another chapter especially after the couple finally tied the knot in the final episode of the last season.
