A guy who creates a series that becomes popular but it gets prematurely cancelled, so he creates a spiritual successor which also becomes hugely popular and gets a few sequels, before it too is prematurely cancelled, so he creates ANOTHER spiritual successor which goes on to become hugely popular and get several sequels, then it ALSO gets cancelled prematurely.
And so on and so on.
Has this ever happened?

I thoroughly believe that the main 2 issues plaguing the TV art/entertainment industry today are representation anxiety and cancellation anxiety.
Representation anxiety is the reason why the quality of the storytelling is suffering.
Cancellation anxiety is the reason why the quality of the production is suffering.
ANXIETY is what is ruining TV show storytelling and producing in general. If people were less anxious about the way the story in a show should or has to go, there would be more focus on what actually matters.
There are so many storytelling and production issues in a show because people are not focussing on the overall experience when creating/watching a TV show. Showrunners/creators are not focussing on it because they’re too anxious about providing the “correct” or “best” or “most palatable” representation because if they don’t provide it, their show will just get cancelled.
Honestly imagine the extreme anxiety a showrunner/creator would feel in this day and age of showmaking.
It is a never-ending loop for them of “I must provide the representation that appeases both the audience and the network alike” and then “if I don’t do this as soon as possible, my show will be cancelled and everybody that depends on me will lose their jobs”.
Show disappoints the network, gets cancelled - which in turn disappoints the audience, stops them from watching anything else like it in case it happens to them again - which then makes the network misjudge it as “this kind of content must not be engaging enough for consumers to invest themselves in” but they throw it out for consumption anyway because quantity over quality even though they’re ultimately going to axe it regardless because “it doesn’t sell.”
And then the whole thing happens all over again. 😩
Sounds to me like they should just have better communication with the showrunners/creators and more faith and trust in what they’re able to deliver.
And maybe once in a while CONSULT THE AUDIENCE themselves. Make them apart of the conversation more than with just the standard lazy feedback questionnaires. I’m pretty fucking sure were a BIG WIG network executive to actually take the time out of their oh so busy work week to talk to us about what it is we want and what we don’t - things would be better for all sides. For the networks, the showrunners/creators+team, and for the customers/consumers.
At the end of the day the people I really feel sorry for regarding this is not us. It’s the showrunners/creators.
I feel so sorry for the producers, writers and directors because I know they’re all running rings around themselves trying to please every fucking body and every complaint from either side goes right to them.
They’re the mimimim wage staff at your favourite restaurant where customers and employers alike yell at them over something they’re personally pissed about but they can’t do anything about it other than offer their sympathies and provide other alternatives.
You think we have it rough as the viewers.
The network thinks they have it rough.
No.
Who has it rough are the showrunners/creators.

Literally nothing going according to plan today, ok.

May 9-13 is when official mention of pickup or decline will come for the Winchesters. And of course reitterated at the upfronts May 19.
However, there's a few public signs you can glean:
The Winchesters crew all has branded swag
The Batwoman and LoT cancellations free 2 WB content slots, while WB is pitching Winchesters and Gotham Knights. Math. (No, CBS hasn't announced cancelling 4400 or Dynasty yet.)
We know others, like Walker Independence, just did their limited screeners, so it looks like that's what CBS is discussing right now--if it's worth it to let go of the other franchises. Also there's the CBS Nancy Drew spinoff to consider, so really CBS needs 2 cancellations too.
Expect the upfronts to be more about who *renanceled* and got final seasons, among which I imagine Legacies to be one.

Do you ever just feel so frustrated about a show being axed....not only because it resonated with you, but because it had so. Much. Potential. A show oozing so much damn potential that it's painful to think about everything that could've been. The incredible character journeys, new relationships developing, dazzling worlds and visuals, yet to be seen...to never see the light of day. This is what keeps me awake at night.

The Wilds got cancelled and it's so frustrating losing another show with prominent female characters and wlw characters
I remember when the first season came out and the burst of like "oh my gosh, shows squarely and solely centered on young women can actually sell!!" type of buzz and then seeing Yellowjackets come out the year after and see similar buzz was really neat, since that age demographic is often treated so unseriously.
[Necessary caveat -- I haven't watched either show]
But maybe this is a good opportunity to raise the question... did The Wilds really need a second season?
[putting the rest of this under a readmore in case people don't feel like scrolling]
From what I remember, most folks on my dashboard [again, necessary caveat that I'm fully aware this only speaks to the people I've chosen to follow here on tumblr dot com] were a bit skeptical about them making a second season, and then when the news came out about the subsequent season set to include a primary plot about a random new set of boys, folks seemed even more wary.
I'm not saying the show 'deserved' to get cancelled after their second season, but I am inviting anyone reading this to honestly consider whether the story needed to be continued after the first season. Sure, they may have introduced some dangling enticements but like, big picture, I'm guessing the first season could have been fine on its own.
To me, this is an example of the binge -> frenzy -> make more stuff cycle that feels like its reached a fever pitch lately.
I remember waaaaay back when (it wasn't that long ago but in internet terms this is ancient) when the creator of Breaking Bad started talking about the process during interviews, and how he specifically conceived of the show as a 5 season arc. They planned it out like that, followed through, and then called it. The fan reception was super intense, and the creative team probably could have eked out a few more seasons, but they didn't. I wish more shows operated like that nowadays because it feels like we either get a soul crushingly blatant lack of planning, or we get a pretty well scoped first season and then they fumble around in the dark figuring out how to keep the money tap flowing. Aaaaaaaand at this point I feel like an Old Person Grumbling lmao so I'm gonna put a pin in this!
I definitely hear you btw that it feels really frustrating to see yet another show featuring female and specifically wlw characters get cancelled. There's only so much we can do of course, but if you are so moved then maybe this can be a reminder to get loud about it, post to twitter or tiktok since those are the buzzy/industry-noticed social media platforms, when the bad stuff (and the good stuff!) happens.

Apparently Bruce's appearance at Cincinnati HorrorHound 2022 has been cancelled. those who have bought autograph and picture ops will be refunded; those who had an Ash Vs Evil Dead trio photo op will be offered one with Dana and Ray instead.

Warner Bros. Discovery's Hellacious War on Animation and Creativity
Opinion: Warner Bros. Discovery's Hellacious War on Animation and Creativity
#HBOMAX #WarnerBrosDiscovery #animation #creators #opinion #CartoonNetwork
*Before you read this article, please note that this is the opinion of the writer. Thank you, and enjoy reading.*
For the past five days, it seemed that Warner Bros Discovery has been on a warpath. The company has canceled projects left and right including films such as Batgirl, citing a possible tax write-off loophole. But it would seem that the animation area is the most under attack.

The last time I supported a streaming service?
It was Netflix. It was specifically to watch ‘First Kill’ and ‘Warrior Nun’. The former was cancelled after only one season despite the unpredicted success it had. The latter was cancelled after two seasons - again, despite the unpredicted success that it had.
Netflix cancelled them so I cancelled my subscription, let it expire and haven’t resubscribed to them since.
I’m doing just fine. There’s no reason to pay monthly for a streaming service that can’t provide anything I actually want to watch or engage in and anything I do actually want to watch or engage in just gets cancelled before I even have chance to be emotionally invested in it anyway. They’re not helping themselves.
Not paying their content creators properly just adds on to the reasons why no one should support them.
