In an interview with Deadline, Ezra teased what lies ahead for Spencer in Season 6, teasing that his character is "very hyper-focused on the NFL now:"
“Spencer is very hyper-focused on the NFL now. His NFL dreams are almost like in touching distance now. In high school, it was like a fantasy. And then now he’s in college, it’s kind of become real. He’s focused on rebuilding this GAU team, but it’s a little closer now."
Episode 1 showed a great adjustment for Spencer and Olivia. The latter decided to stay in London for another year because she loves the "London version" of herself.

Logan said in the same interview with Deadline that fans will see Olivia in a new light in Season 6:
