After "My Lady Jane" And "The Acolyte" Were Canceled, It's Time We Talk About Why It's Important To Let TV Shows Last More Than One Season

My Lady Jane dropped its full season on June 27, 2024, on Prime Video. The Acolyte wrapped its weekly rollout of Season 1 on July 16 on Disney+. That means My Lady Jane was given less than two months for people to find it and watch all eight episodes. The Acolyte had just a little over a month from the finale airing to its cancelation date.

It's my job to watch TV, so I often watch shows before or right as they premiere. However, the average TV lover has other things going on. They might not get to a show for a few months, and now they come to find out it's canceled, so why would they bother watching it at all?
