    For those just reading the headline or unaware of how many seasons the show has,

    Paramount+ orders a final season of the series ahead of its third season premiere.

    So we get season 3 next month, 10 episodes. THEN we get season 4, also 10 episodes. THEN we get season 5, the reduced 6 episodes.

    So basically the writers get a lot of heads up and the chance to really deliver a high quality story.

      Yeah, sad to see this one go, and agree, at least they are not pulling an Amazon/Netflix cancel style.

      The entire industry is folding up and pivoting to bargain basement budget content.

      Streaming has been a financial failure, so the studios are ditching all their prestige media in exchange for slop.

        I’m here praying for a Fear Factor revival.

        All the stupid fame hungry influencers in the world forced to eat raw bull penises would be a dream come true.

        It will be interesting to see what happens when the studios figure out nobody wants to pay for slop.

          So many streaming services are bundled with ISP plans and other services at this point that it may not matter.

          AT&T just handed me a Max subscription without even asking when I signed up for Internet.

          But they’ll watch it with tons of obnoxious ads. Which makes them more money anyways.

          It’s the youtube method.

    It’s only been two seasons and they know they’re cancelling after season FIVE? Which means there’s more episodes to come than already aired! I can’t wait!
