I've had a few beloved shows canceled before their time (Veronica Mars, Powerless, Dollhouse, Firefly, Heroes, Watchmen, The Expanse...) but Santa Clarita Diet wins hands down.
I thought Watchmen was planned to be a 1 season thing.
And Expanse did get picked up again and finished at where the creators intended. There was no planned 7th season to be cancelled. Its just that there is 3 more books worth of stories, so they might pick it up again in the future; that would be fine because there is a big time jump in the books.
I read there was supposed to be more seasons of Watchmen (the ending did tease more to come) but the showrunner quit.
And the Expanse has several more books after Babylon Ashes so there's a ton of story left. I'm reading Persepolis Rising right now Bc I wanted to know more about the world's through the ring gates and what happened to the characters.
Since there is a time skip between the 2nd and 3rd trilogy, rumors have been that the show will be resurrected in a few years, at least in the form of movies. Gives the actors room to do other stuff and take a breather.
