Unscripted Television, marketing expenditure and lost advertising revenue. Warner Bros. had arranged global sales, including agreements with Canada’s Citytv, although the programme was later replaced in line with ABC’s decision. According to insiders, Warner Bros. executives were informed of the situation at the same time as ABC and have since adopted a cautious approach while maintaining communication with the network. Some anticipate that the season may still be released at a later date, potentially on streaming platforms or within a revised broadcast window.
