Well, asking Hopes is not an issue for me.
But with that specific suggestion, it's gonna be dependent on how much more work Hopes wishes to add onto Season 1.
He can very much say "I just want to make small additions to Season 1 and direct all my attention to Season 2." (not saying he specifically said this, but he can possibly say this).
So, I'd say with this request it might be best to temper your expectations a bit (in case he says no).
Having said that, I do like your suggestion and see if I can make it a compelling case to present to Hopes
