I'm following Skam Austin on Facebook Watch, which seems to have been stuck in limbo for half a year. They announced it would get a second season right after the first season ended in June last year, but it's been radio silence since. The only way we know that the second season is happening now is because of casting calls.
This article pretty much confirms what I've been thinking: The Silicon Valley way of doing things, throwing stuff on the wall, waiting for engineering to create a feature, drip-launching features, infighting between VPs of this and that, and fighting for budget meets the TV production side of things, which is completely different. A TV production runs on a planned schedule, coordinating a large amount of people together for casting actors, creating sets, rehearsing scenes, gathering a lot of extras, and shooting.
A TV production is either go or no go, you commit to the schedule or you don't. It seems like Facebook Watch has to learn some lessons from Hollywood on this one.
