Why Was It Cancelled? This show pulled decent ratings across its three-season run, but then it was quietly cancelled in September 2021. According to series creator Olan Rogers, the multiple mergers WarnerMedia has been going through resulted in this show getting kicked to the curb. And in a chilling twist on cancellations, the show has been designated as a write-off by Warner Bros. Discovery and will not be available for streaming or home video anymore. Fans are lobbying for the show to remain available and continue to a fourth year, so perhaps it is not done yet.
