We should have contracts that mandate minimum number of seasons for all of this.

Yeah if I ever ran a streaming service that made original content I'd put in a stipulation that if a cancellation order is made, the producers still get to make a proper end to the series in the form of a final season or a special or movie. How Netflix especially treats their original projects feels like if Barnes & Noble sold books in halves and flipped a coin in a back room to determine whether or not to sell the second half in 18 months.
