That would be an interesting production skill for an org to build out. I don't think anyone is really good at it and wind-down seasons are all over the place. Freed from the need to fit into the season templates you could also wind shows down with partial seasons or even an audiobook.
2 fun examples of coping with winding down are HBO's Rome, that "telescoped the third and fourth season into the second one" (https://www.reuters.com/article/televisionNews/idUSTRE4B00VV20081201/ https://www.reuters.com/article/televisionNews/idUSTRE4B00VV...) and Blacklist's final episode before the pandemic shutdown that filled the gaps with animated storyboards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0nF4njky94 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0nF4njky94
- glenstein 3y agoI hadn't even thought of an audiobook. But, to your point with HBO, they have dabbled in creating companion podcasts, and did a wind-down with Rome, so a companion podcast could at least be something.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoThere's the opposite phenomenon where, for instance, Legend of Korra was ordered as a miniseries then extended to a full show, resulting in some trouble in season 2's production. Futurama might be the best at handling cancellations now, lol.
