That seems to be the common thing these days. Shows cancelled but are being shopped around. Reminds me of sports trading deadlines. You have sellers, but if there are no buyers that doesn't work.
And the Next Cancelled Show is...
- Thread starter Guy Gardener
- Start date
Disney+ will not be airing its "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" prequel/adaptation "Nautilus" even though the first season has completed filming.
Wow... No wonder Disney stock is tanking. Throwing millions of dollars at a project, only to kill it before it ever airs? I'm sure that will impress their share-holders! 
Of course, so long as they vault these projects forever (see also HBO and Batgirl), they can take a tax write-off.

Yeah, certainly seems like an expensive endeavour. Possibly hoping for a tax writeoff, but still seems like a hugely expensive undertaking to get to that point. Plus with the ongoing writer's strike, you'd think they'd be happy to have some content they could air.
Or they’re trying to crush their content creators by limiting how much they’re paying them while they strike.
Entirely possible, yes. There’s definitely some dirty tricks going on with that whole thing.
Is that the one with Shazad Latif in the role of Nemo?
Yes.
It's absolutely baffling to me that these services keep deciding to not release already completed projects right in the middle of several strikes that could last for a long time and they're going to start running out of shows and films to release sooner than later.
Still waiting on a release for the final season of Snowpiercer, damnit! Granted that whole bullshit happened long before the strikes but still...

Having to complete and air shows once started is going to be in contracts going forward, surely.
I would hope so.
Pathetic that has to be stated but greed knows no bounds.

That would suck. 
My guess for prime time is almost everything except for long running procedurals. We’ll get plenty of reality TV.
Oh, joy everlasting! Excuse me while I go over here and stick my head firmly into this wood-chipper.
Yeah, it's utterly baffling. I could understand if they were shows not on their own platform, but on a platform they do own? It's one thing to do a tax writeoff, but sooner or later, customers are going to start asking where the content that they paid for is and why they're paying for a service that keeps cancelling things.
As for Snowpiercer, I too am waiting, and I'm wondering if perhaps Netflix will pick it up, as they've already been airing it internationally,. so it would make sense for them to pick it up as an exclusive everywhere to continue the last season. It's probably already filmed and just waiting.
The Great is cancelled. I really enjoyed the first two seasons, I haven't seen the third yet.

They completed filming for the fourth season last August. As in 2022. I don't know about post-production but considering the news of withholding its airing occurred in January, I suspect most if not all of it is complete. It just needs a home.
Yeah, that's what I figured. It's just such a shame that (TNT is it?) gave up on it with the final season. And this is the kind of show that you can see has been planned in advance, as you could see where the final season was heading. It's a show that only got better and more interesting as it went along. Not getting the final season is like getting everything but the final chapter of a novel.
