So barring any further kind of financial apocalypse or whatever, I think they’re going to want to reassure people this is a one-of-a-kind thing is based around this unique moment of interest rates shift leading to a change in perception from Wall Street around streaming.” “To spend that kind … [Read more...] about Cancellations Of Completed Seasons Of TV Series; Experts Weigh In On Whether Trend Will Continue
