The show has been running under a somewhat strange plan, although fans quickly got used to it and are now ready to patiently wait as much as necessary for the release of the second season.
The major problem within the community were the rumors of the show’s possible cancellation, but now that we’ve seen that this is not actually on the table, most followers of the production have relaxed and gone back to their regular discussions.
Some seem to be a little annoyed by the way the whole situation was handled by the showrunners in the first place, claiming that they should have been a bit more attentive to their fans and released a statement as soon as the rumors of Jaden Smith’s death started to circulate.
But on the other hand, major productions are always surrounded by rumors, often quite ridiculous ones, and it’s probably not the producers’ job to scout the Internet for every crazy thing fans are saying so that they can shut it down. In this case, they were probably waiting to see if the rumors about Jaden Smith are going to gain any traction before speaking out about them.
It actually didn’t take long to see a confirmation that season 2 is underway, so we can’t really blame the showrunners for delaying their response in any significant way in the end – they didn’t.
