The Fosters stars recall the roller coaster of emotions going from cancelation to spinoff

TVLine

Maia Mitchell and Cierra Ramirez are excited that their characters, Callie and Mariana, will live on in a Los Angeles-based spinoff. “We found out the show was ending,” says Mitchell, “and they were like, ‘Do you want to keep the story alive?’ We were like, ‘Yeah, in whatever way we can. Let’s figure it out.’ They came up with a way for us to do that. There are going to be appearances from all your Fosters favorites, so it’s not just going to be our show. There are going to be new series regulars and new characters, and still the same amount of representation as we’ve had on The Fosters, and the same topics. It’s (the) same but different.”
