I think the key thing here is not just that they were cancelling a previously renewed show, but that they'd just been about to wrap the second season - so essentially everything's in the can already. Although the studio that made it, Lionsgate, can shop the series around, you've got to imagine that WBD has already paid for it regardless. Another form of tax write-off?
It was nothing to write home about, and I'm not sure where dramatically they could take the series, but I enjoyed season one, and I liked the leads. I'm guessing the seventies setting meant that it wasn't super-cheap to make. I see that WBD is busily cancelling and pulling lots of stuff off its service. So not only is S5 of Westworld still cancelled by S1-4 are being pulled off HBO Max. Meanwhile The Nevers is never going to air the second part of its first season - well at least not on HBO Max. Sad to see that Love Life has been canned too, as I liked that show.
