Why Was It Cancelled? This horror anthology appeared to fall off The CW’s radar at the start of the 2021-22 season then suddenly re-appeared on the schedule in January 2022.  But with new ownership now headed to the network, and with plans for more “wholesome” programming, this show finds itself in limbo.  It was not included in the 2022-23 schedule and may not fit well with the new direction or the network.  It is an acquisition, though, so perhaps its could shift to another venue at some point.  A Call to Action from its fans could certainly help it bounce back for another year.
