Name of the game isn’t so much interest or quality but money.

Once simply costs too much to justify whatever interest people have.

So, shows like Supernatural still chug on because:

1. Less is expected of it, ratingswise. CW isn’t some juggernaut and within respect of the network, it does great.

2. It’s financially sound/profitable. While people complained earlier on Once, the CGI and special effects are topnotched co pared to pretty much any non-cable/non-HBO show, especially with the amount of episodes and usage.

It’s beyond clear that Once which does well on streaming (I believe even still) was barely enough to have the show continue from 6 to 7.

3. The fan base for this so is “ugh” which is a product of the main show and presumably what viewers it attracted. The quality of the show also went from B+ to like D- pretty quickly. Possibly due to the lack of strong ideas, writers, leadership, etc.

Thus, I circle back to the topic at hand. The show won’t get revived. That’s how confident I am about that. If the show universe gets revived in anyway, in order for it to sucxeeed it will be so far removed from the old characters until those are Easter eggs or worlds apart.

Like I enjoy the premise, but if they can’t get people to turnout massively for a character they do know and is the child of Emma, what makes anyone think the audience will turn out for an unknown child of Emma. It’s best to start fresh. I’d almost essentially remove the characters, most of the writers, demote Adam and Eddy and at that point, it’s probably not even Once anymore.
