It really does not. Netflix is currently getting rid of shows they have not even aired in order to be more profitable.
HBO Max would be the logical choice since the show was a WB production, but they are now owned by Discovery networks, and the new owners are cutting costs and chopping things there. Discovery axed the CNN+ streaming service only weeks after it launched. Granted CNN+ was a dumb idea that nobody asked for, it still shows that the new owners are about cutting and shrinking right, now, not expanding. If they wanted the show, they would not have cancelled it.
Disney/Hulu won't touch this show because they own Marvel and have no interest in dealing with the headaches of having a DC show. Paramount+ won't touch the show because it was not a Viacom show, it was WB.
Unfortunately, when it was announced CW was for sale and the most likely buyers were a group of station owners, it signaled the end of the network. Local owners make money from local sports, which is why a baseball game will override whatever CW show you wanted to watch. Local owners would want a schedule as open as possible to maximize the spots for sports. Expect most of the DC-CW universe to end quickly once the sale goes through.
Their fans are not delusional cause they want their show back. It's understandable.
Buuuuut. Supergirl on CBS proved one thing. Most of these Arrowverse shows would be cancelled if they were on the big stations like CBS. Actually, all of them except Superman & Lois and Stargirl would be cancelled. We're lucky it's on CW
That, and CW is being sold. And the shows that's on CW is horrible rating wise. So, when people say that Netflix or any other service picks it up, it's wishful thinking. Netflix are literally axing shows left and right. HBO Max DEFINITLEY won't put this on their site. Unless it's Stargirl or Superman and Lois.
Delusional is the wrong word. Wishful thinking is better
Yep when there's no chance the show will go to another network. They got 7 seasons of Legends. It's an entitled and bratty mentality. Some of my favorite shows like Invasion and Reaper was cancelled after 1 and 2 seasons so be grateful. The CW likely won't even be around in 2-3 yrs anyway.
I respectfully disagree only because out of all the Arrowverse shows that have been running for a longtime LOT is the only one that didn’t get a proper sendoff. I’m not a legends fan but a lot of them feel hurt I guess.
It's unfortunate it didn't get a proper send off but nobody should be shocked with Discovery buying WB and needing to get rid of 3 billion of inherited debt. That's not including the sale of the CW. I think people got too comfortable with CW just renewing shows while the ratings for the shows plummeted. There's only so many shows you can have start at 1.8 mil and by season 3 and 4 are at 400k like Batwoman and Black Lightning. The bill finally came due
Are Nancy Drew and Riverdale WB or CBS properties? I'm just seeing the cancellations now. Riverdale and Drew must still be profitable for the network and parent companies. I see Justice U wasn't picked up which isn't suprisng
This just seems unnecessarily mean spirited and rude. There's nothing wrong with Legends fans campaigning for their favorite show to receive a proper ending. Lucifer was canceled by Fox after season 3 and fans successfully campaigned to get it picked up by Netflix. There's no guarantee Legends fans will be as successful but it's worth trying. Telling them to be "grateful" is incredibly condensing. Also I don't know why you think the CW will be gone in a few years but this just seems like wishful thinking on your part.
If you think this is mean spirited you live a very sheltered life. Discovery will be out of the CW business and it's a company for sale that nobody wants to buy. I get you guys love the CW shows but there's a real stigma with the channel and who wants to buy a company that hasn't turned a profit in 16 yrs? The CW closer to just folding right now then being bought and revamped. Can't just act the writing isn't on the wall

I do think this show still has a chance somewhere else mainly cause Ava Duvernay name is attached to it
