The reporters just let them talk about future plans and spinoffs

Apparently the trades, in their interviews with the executive producer/showrunner are just going to ignore what happened to the second season of this show. There has not been this big of a drop off disappointment between the first and second season since Heroes. The reporters just let them talk about future plans and spinoffs instead of asking the tough question about why should they get another show after destroying this one?

I think this A- list actor will be back. 

Is it leaving a hit show? This hit streaming show is losing one of its stars. Could he have stayed longer? Probably, but the story on which it is based had him pretty much gone. So, no I don't think this qualifies as leaving and if they can figure out a way to write him in, I think this A- list actor will be back.
