Fans of a show look forward to hearing their program has been renewed for another season, and studios know exactly how to market and deploy their announcements to maximize interest. Even if you aren\u2019t watching a show, hearing that it got another season can generate new viewers who may not have jumped on during the initial season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Basically, the announcement of a show renewal is its own type of advertising. So, what happens when you can\u2019t trust these announcements anymore? Because thanks to some recent news, it\u2019s time to realize that even these are capable of being lies from the studio.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong><em>Dexter: Original Sin<\/em><\/strong><strong> Gets Renewed And Canceled<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Dexter: Original Sin<\/em> is the reason I\u2019m bringing up show renewals and why you can\u2019t trust them anymore.

Now, I wasn\u2019t watching <em>Dexter: Original Sin<\/em> (or any <em>Dexter<\/em> show after I dipped out eons ago during the show\u2019s fifth season) but I feel for anyone who was checking out the prequel series. They got news that the show was coming back and got the rug pulled out from under them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I don\u2019t know the specifics of what goes into this kind of backtracking, but it\u2019s becoming one of the reasons why I can\u2019t get into newer shows. Cultivating a fan base for a show is so important to its survival and longevity, and the idea of getting in on the ground floor of a show seems more and more treacherous these days. Believe me, I should know.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>This Keeps Happening<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/cUgzaOYzpMc3UTQjAMQ_4A--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/a559405b269905b334ffcd115255554f\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Show renewals getting unceremoniously rescinded isn\u2019t a new phenomenon. A show I did watch was <em>GLOW<\/em>, the wrestling dramedy on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/netflix\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Netflix;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Netflix<\/a>. <em>GLOW<\/em> was given a fourth season to close up its story and Netflix even announced the fourth season as \u201cThe Final Match.\u201d Season 4 was in the middle of filming when Netflix pulled the renewal just weeks after saying it was returning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It might sound trivial but I still haven\u2019t gotten over the cancellation of <em>GLOW<\/em>. Not just because it was a compelling show but because of that renewal announcement. Shows rarely get to close out their stories with plenty of notice, so hearing that <em>GLOW<\/em> was getting that chance was extremely uplifting. Then, Netflix doing a double cross soured me to such a degree that it\u2019s affected my relationship with television shows in general.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I don\u2019t trust show renewals at all anymore. This recent one with <em>Dexter: Original Sin<\/em> only further pushes me into permanent skepticism towards the studios. It would not surprise me in the least if show renewal announcements are now part of a studio examining whether they actually should renew a show. Until someone can prove otherwise, I believe there is a dataset that gets analyzed after certain show renewal announcements \u2014 social media reactions, video views on the announcement etc. \u2014 and if it doesn\u2019t hit certain thresholds for engagement, the studio is willing to betray the show and its fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That doesn\u2019t make me want to watch too many new shows.
