As of November 2014[update], Lundström said in an interview with Festival Court Métrange, "We have planned for a third season, we have written a whole outline and some scripts, but right now it's in decision making, if it's going to happen or not, because we have problem to fund the budget money.

The androids, known as hubots (portmanteau of human and robot), function as servants, workers, companions, and even illicitly as sexual partners, with different models having specific features designed for their distinctive roles.

Hubots are usually programmed to recognise and obey their owner and can learn skills and pick up knowledge through observation of humans.

The button to activate or de-power a hubot is located under the left armpit, as is a standard wall plug cord for recharging purposes.

A small, low-funded branch of the police is set up to investigate hubot related crimes, known as E-HURB.
