When Will We Get Personalized AI Spinoffs?
I know this will be possible, maybe already is, so gimme!
My sister and I are royally teed off that Night Sky will not be renewed. I’m also disgruntled that Avenue 5 only got two seasons — my sister has no opinion about that yet because it’s still in her unwatched queue. When she watches it, she will likely be as ticked as I am.
I could list dozens of other movies and series that I didn’t want to end. Not that I never wanted them to be over, just that they shouldn’t have died so soon.
I consoled my sister with the faint hope that someone like Apple TV might recognize the value of Night Sky and buy the rights to do a continuation. That might happen; the ending left a lot of plots that could be explored.
The almighty $$$
But these things cost a lot of moolah to produce, don’t they? Actors, directors, best boys, sets, cameras, stunt doubles, special effects — these aren’t things you and your drinking buds can make with an iPhone.
So new seasons and movie spinoffs have to make money, piles of money. If the originals were slow to get traction or the critics were mean, no more money will be forthcoming.
