UPDATE - August 8, 2016: "Mozart in the Jungle" announced the air date for its much anticipated Season 3. The release date is December 9 as mentioned in the Tweet that was posted yesterday, August 7, 2016 on its official Twitter account.

------------------------------

While "Mozart in the Jungle" revolves around the world of classical music and the survival of the New York Symphony, what everyone really wants to know is what will happen with the central love story.

Since the beginning of the first season, Halley and Rodrigo's romance has been central to the story. Yet the writers have dragged it out repeatedly, giving the two a moment to end the first season before developing it further in season 2. But then suddenly the romance was abandoned, hinting that there could be more in the following season.

But it might just be time for the writers to make a decision on the romance and develop the characters through it. Here is why.

Play on themes of nepotism

Halley's status with the orchestra has always been tenuous and her perceived relationship with Rodrigo has been seen by some members as blatant nepotism. But audience members knew the truth and could not justify those biases. But if the relationship did flourish then there would be some moral dilemmas for the heroine; she would have to justify her role in the group even more.

Dragging it out would get boring

Rodrigo's family already made the prediction. It seems fated. They like it each other. Just get it over with already. Dragging it out only to eventually get here would be received poorly by audience members. However, the writers could just...

Have them spend a lot of time far apart in season 3

It was hinted at the end of season 2 that Halley was off on tour with other musicians while Rodrigo tried to figure out the orchestra's situation and his own future. If we see the characters develop away from each other, it might help in bringing them back together eventually. However...

The writers could kill the relationship altogether

A nice twist would be to just eliminate the romance altogether. Throw twist at audiences that might force them to look elsewhere for romance in the story. Maybe Halley falls for someone else altogether on her travels. This might actually make for a more engaging viewing experience with the audience suddenly having no idea where relationships are heading between characters.
