Spin-offs already deal with the fact that most of the people who watch them are viewers of the main show, so it was always going to be less people than the amount of viewers for Season 3. On top of that, the show had a bit of a slow start, so by the time we got to the really interesting parts of the show, many viewers had already stopped watching. Sad but true. Do you think the fact that they gave up on recasting Mad Hatter/Jefferson and decided to follow the project without the character changed anything? I do think it would have been smart to do a backdoor pilot on the main show (with Alice or Will and Ana or someone), since Jefferson wasn't going to be able to be on the show (as Seb was too busy with Marvel stuff). I don't think recasting the Mad Hatter would have worked either, because people would just be annoyed that Seb wasn't playing him. If Seb was able to be a main cast member on the show, or even a recurring guest, I do think it may have helped the show a little bit, but I still don't know if it would have been a big enough difference to have the show get a second season.
