Prison Break is getting a 6th season.
Curb Your Enthusiasm is getting a tenth.
Also some actor on iZombie had sexual misconduct allegations towards him. CW looked into it and he has behaved on the show so he will be staying. So yeah the studios check before firing people.
Not being fired actually might be good for the issue because it helps stop any conspiracy theory stuff from being created and makes the process look fair and not just like the studio's will take knee jerk reaction. Of course the other possibility is that things might slowly be returning to normal and progress will go away once the media is tired of the story. I guess you can't get away from conspiracy theories no matter what angle you go with.
