And the Next Cancelled Show is...

Also, I've noticed that a lot of game shows don't translate well to streaming as well. About Last Night, which was a reboot of the 70's game show Tattletales, was on HBO Max and did not last long. HBO Max premiered it on February 10, 2022, and then was removed from HBO Max in August 2022.

That is interesting. With game shows, being filmed live-to-tape, it creates a certain kinetic energy that makes you want to watch it when broadcast, and the streaming likely removes the immediacy that makes it so addictive to watch. There's also the fact that a large portion of the demographic likely wouldn't be into streaming given their age or location they're watching from. Like if someone watches from a nursing residence.

MS NOW is revamping their weekends. Alex Witt will be leaving later in the year with Antonia Hylton scheduled to take over weekend afternoon hosting duties (so, Alex Witt Reports will be ending). And June 27 will be the last episode of The Weekend Primetime - the hosts will be sticking around for other duties. All this in favor of video podcast episodes due to the success of Crooked on MS NOW.

At least it's not A.I. related. Yet.

Tom Hardy Returning To ‘MobLand’ For Season 3 After Issues Resolved, Paving Way For Renewal
EXCLUSIVE: The leading trio of characters on MobLand will remain intact for the expected Season 3 of Paramount+‘s hit crime series. After some behind-the-scenes drama, Tom Hardy is staying on and will continue to star alongside Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan, sources tell Deadline.
 
According to actor Chandler Kinney, the reason for its cancellation was that although season 2 received good viewership ratings, HBO Max wanted to move away from the YA genre.

there are probley some alternate earths in the multiverse where the pretty little liars reboot never got axed aka cancelled after season 2 and got renewed for season 3 and 4 and by now is at either season 5 or season 6
 
HBO is sadly IP chasing these days. I mean they still make good stuff but it seems like it has to be from a known IP.
 
Wait, what? What about their Harry Potter series then? :confused:
Harry Potter isn't actually 'young adult' content. Its fantasy aspect is more prominent. Also, it's not being made by 'HBO Max', it's being made by HBO. And HBO will have Harry Potter, just like Euphoria, as a prestigious drama.

I mean, it is, its based on a book series written primarily for children. The fact that those children are now in their mid forties is irrelevant, its still a series for older children and young adults, as this puts the lower range at thirteen.
