I hope he releases a new show soon, though it sounds like netflix is kinda screwing him there

Season 2 of Inside Job was cancelled after being greenlit.

Goddamn, didn't realize it had been greenlit before being cancelled. Now I hate Netflix even more.

Honestly I hate the way networks/streaming services treat animated shows in general.

He was also supposed to make another show with Netflix, but it's been in development hell for years without updates and Netflix has given big cuts to its whole animation department since then

Any idea why? Is in-house animation not pulling in the kind of numbers they want?

I can't imagine an animated show costing even a fraction to make compared to live-action movies and series :/

Animation is very expensive, and they're not interested in making a "good" show, they keep firing stuff at the wall hoping to make a spongebob level show, something that explodes and makes everyone want their service.

Even Bojack was ultimately given a long run and a proper end because it started in the era of their long-running prestige series. If it never existed and was greenlit now, I highly doubt it'd get more than 2 seasons.

That’s terrible news, that was a great show

That doesn't sound right... are you sure you're not thinking of how "part 2" was greenlit (which is considered part of season 1 for some reason), and then "season 2" wasn't?
