Why Was It Cancelled? Each year Syfy acquires originals to give the appearance that it is still active in the scripted programming arena, and often these are given little promotion and little chance to succeed. This show at least had Resident Alien as its lead-in, but the lack of promotion beyond internal ad spots kept this fun little show from finding much of an audience. Its same-day ratings were low and Syfy only makes money on these acquisitions from the advertising that is driven by those numbers. The network did not make an announcement on the show’s fate during the 2021-22 season, but it failed to include it on the schedule for the next season. The official cancellation did finally come almost one year after it debuted. Astrid & Lilly did develop a small fanbase, and it could still shift to another venue, but that will require fans making some noise with a Call to Action on the social networks.
