Status: The prospects for this DCU series have been less than stellar of late with the viewership numbers seemingly on the low side and HBO boss Casey Bloys saying that nothing is currently in development with that franchise. But this last week has brought some updates that seem to deliver positive news for the show. That starts with the fact that Bloys himself will likely be sticking around after the Paramount merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, meaning that he will probably lobby for the HBO shows. In addition, the latest viewership numbers (seven million for Episode 7 after three days across all platforms) are showing a positive trend, suggesting that people are sticking with the show. And lastly, the Season 2 writers’ room is bolstering its staff, meaning that HBO is certainly keeping open the possibility that this one could continue. For these reasons, I am moving it out of Bubble status and back to Renewal Possible, and fans should continue to make some noise on the social networks to improve the show’s chances of sticking around.
