Nancy Drew showrunner calls out nuCW for lack of cancellation news

[a_files06]

Kennedy was in line to shoot THE GOOD LAWYER. And like any good agent would do, Kennedy’s rep asked our Studio what our future schedule for NANCY DREW was going to look like. Our Studio wanted to try and make it work for Kennedy so she could do both.

“… the show is too expensive.” Had our Studio not made

So shitty of them to do that. Like if you already know the decent thing to do is let them know so they can prepare.

The nuCW must idolize Zaslav due to their beliefs that cheap reality content is the best as is canceling all original content. Or maybe they're Zaslav's clones.

fuck cw and nexstar! 🤬 but what i'm surprised at is that the writers didn't know/didn't prepare for it in advance to be their last season. when they announced the s4 renewal, in my head (and a lot of fans) it was gonna be their very last.

to expect another season on a dying channel that was cancelling all their tv shows one by one fast was very delulu of them 😅, like did cw execs lied to them and told them they were safe???? i want more tea!!!

I think it was renewed before the mass cancelations, so that might have made them feel safer? But it's still fucked that they got renewed in March 2022. Started filming in July 2022. But they weren't told until October that the show wasn't gonna be renewed. I know with the mass cancelations, a lot of shows were given the heads up that the season finales should also serve as a potential series finale.

I do agree they should have seen the writing on the wall.

yeah and maybe they were lied to that they were safe (we'll never know 'til the showrunner speak about it or someone higher up). cw should def have not been assholes and been upfront to them during the renewal period and tell them that they were not sure they were gonna get another season, so to plan accordingly.

but the lack of planning from the writers is disappointing. especially when we as fans all saw the writing on the wall, so why couldn't they? :(

i legit thought that when the s4 renewal got announced, they also announced it as its last season, so imagine my confusion when the show started adding more and more shit to resolve along the season and nothing was getting wrapped up so close to the end. the shock i got when a friend told me that no the writers didn't know prior to writing this season that it was gonna the last one 😅 it suddenly all made sense, and i was suddenly very scared 😭

either way, fuck you cw.

Did everything get wrapped up?

[manu19]

Really? He did not expect to be cancelled, the moment The CW was sold and the refocus of the new heads announced? I am not even in the business and I could tell it months ago

smdh we need to petition for Netflix or sth to pick the show up

[jeuxdemaux]

this same person tweeted a couple days ago that getting picked up by another channel wouldn't be a possibility because the sets were already torn down/sold to other cbs shows for use and their permits ran out for the physical real life locations where they filmed :(
