Six Feet Under creator Alan Ball has revealed the alternate endings that were pitched for the series finale in an interview with EW:
One pitch: Ruth (Frances Conroy) gets Alzheimer’s disease. “I thought that was too depressing and not necessary,” Ball says. “There was even a pitch that the sixth season would be kind of like a post-Holocaust thing where they were trying to keep alive in post-Holocaust Los Angeles.” Those, obviously, were nixed in favor of one writer’s idea to simply kill everybody. “I said, that’s perfect. I’m embarrassed I didn’t think of it,” he jokes
Will Six Feet Under ever resurrect for Season 6? We’ll let you know if it does…
