Pretty sure all of these were canceled due to budgetary constraints, not ratings. It’s like current network execs have never heard the term “loss leader”.
I’ll add Andor to this list even though it wasn’t “canceled”. It sure felt like it was cut short/rushed for the same reasons. Every couple of episodes of the final season felt like they could have been fleshed out into an entire 8-13 episode arc. It was great television but it still left me feeling like I got cheated.
Andor was written to be five seasons long. Disney stopped it at 2 because it was way too expensive (they knew it was a hit, but not enough to pay that much for it). So the last four seasons were truncated down to the most important events. Each three-episode arc of season 2 represents what should have been a full season.
Also, lol 70s Battlestar. I wish Caprica had been given a fair shake.
