But that is for TV that operates on an annual season model. Digital streaming series broke that model some time ago, and WOT has never followed it. A more meaningful comparison is to what Amazon has previously done with this series - or at least with its original series in general. I haven't dug into what they have done for their other shows, but for this series, Amazon announced the renewal for season 2 four months before season 1 premiered. They announced the renewal for season 3 FOURTEEN MONTHS before season 2 premiered. There has been a gap between seasons (so far) averaging nineteen months. The gap between green-light announcements and season premiers is even more problematic. Season 2 premiered 28 months after it was announced. Season 3 premiered 32 months after it was announced. At this rate, if Amazon announces tomorrow that the series is renewed for season 4, it won't premier until mid-2028. How much audience interest will still remain - now matter how popular it is this season?
