(MOD): Let us remain at the topic at hand.

I agree with Matheus, but even bolder in that it will not be revived for years to come.

Once wasn’t cancelled prematurely, but after it was in “We’re done l, but we’ve got extra stuff to work with” mode. Once also it’s some steady juggernaut that simply can go one without end, nor was it something the actors were setting up as a mainstay project (take Supernatural, which chugs along for “reasons”).

I think the only reason why Once really got as far as it did (which they were leaning towards 5 to 7 seasons anyway) is that Adam and Eddy sort of flopped everything outside Once. Wonderland flopped (mostly due to death slot). Dead of Summer flopped on a channel that has pretty low expectations. It’s amazing they got their Anthology series (which is sort of ironic as Wonderland and Dead of Summer we’re going that route, seasonally).

Once won’t return or some incarnation unless Adam and Eddy flop, ABC continues the flops at new shows (at least the rate they turnover), and/or Disney really needs added fluff for streaming and if Once dominates there, even while being cancelled.
