Harry Shum Jr., who plays dancer Mike, said filming the final scenes of the third season has been very emotional for the cast.

'There [are] a lot of tears on set, randomly. We had a rehearsal and even our choreographer had some tears,' he told ET. 'He couldn't even get through the rehearsal...We've been through a long journey.'
