greetings, i hope you’re doing better today than we all were yesterday…
so i have a theory. it was clear that everyone involved with ofmd expected it to get renewed. it even seemed like hbo was planning on it (the merch, the billboards, the show on the front page). this all feels very last minute and i haven’t been able to comprehend it at all.
until i thought about the money aspect of things, because obviously, capitalism kills art. there’s no way that ofmd didn’t make hbo enough money. i dont buy it. i think that some higher up saw how successful the show was with a 40% budget cut and thought “well if they can make a season that good with so little why don’t we give them a bit less.”
yknow. because studios want as much output with as little input as possible. i think that they tried to slice the budget AGAIN and djenks + the crew just didn’t take it. which would be the right call imo.
idk, i might be wrong about the financial aspect of things. what do you think?
i woke up feeling worse lol i thought it was supposed to go the other way (i do have a lot of other difficult stuff going on in my life right now though so it's just a big complicated grief smoothie right now)
anyway i hope you're doing better!!
i definitely think everyone expected it to be renewed until a few days ago. seems like it was all ready to go ahead. i have no industry insight but i've been following @TheCozyPirate on twitter to try and gain some context - of course there's no way to verify anything for certain so treat it like that, but what they're posting seems reliable and makes a lot of sense to me (and also makes me so so angry at the current state of streaming in general and the highest-level execs at max in particular).
but yeah. essentially i think production was ready to go ahead, everyone involved was sure it was gonna happen, probably just needed the final stamp from the top, and max suddenly changed the renewal requirements from "profitable 3rd season and future possibility of spin-offs" to "needs guarantee that spin-offs can be milked for cash forever based on a guesstimate at best". so yeah, corporate greed and mismanagement
anyway these are obviously just my thoughts and i am still trying to wrap my head around it all. i love how the fandom is showing so much love and creating a lot of noise 💗💗💗
