Saying goodbye to any kind of comic book property can’t be easy, but this would be NBC’s second strike following the protested cancellation of Constantine.
It’s entirely possible that NBC is just postponing those Powerless episodes until a couple of weeks later because…well, there are bound to be reasons that I’m just not able to think of right now.
(The outcry for this superhero-adjacent comedy’s cancellation likely won’t be as loud, if that is what’s happening.)
But when a writer and producer puts out the message “Thanks for watching,” in such a context, it’s hard to believe that Powerless will just be getting retooled again, as it was following the initial pilot’s production.
