It seems like for the coming season (and actually since the beginning of COVID in particular) lots of shows are falling victim to severe budget cuts, even when they're already in production, or after they've announced one thing and then coming back through and reducing episodes/canceling the show/etc. This doesn't surprise me at all, not just because of the CW's pivot to appealing to their "actual" demographic of "55+" so they claimed, but just industry trends in general. Pretty soon we are just going to be getting a bunch of what amounts to a short miniseries that end on cliffhangers never to be seen or heard from again.

But they have all that research that tells me that, compared to their actual audience, I was a spry young thing.
