Except Alcon was still making it and the budget didn't change. Season 6 got cut down to 6 episodes due to Amazon, though.
That and the whole there being three other books worth of material that the series just noped the fuck out of because amazon didn't want to keep making the series. They did the same thing with The Wheel of Time.
There's a 30 year gap in between the last episode and when the story starts again. That's a perfect place to end the show, and then pick it back up down the road.
Uh one of the main actors got in shit for sexual abuse, that ended any chance of having future episodes.
Amazon wouldn’t have left that cash cow behind, but there wasn’t going forward with that actor, or even rewriting them.
You can see how they went back and changed the end of the season already filmed scenes to rewrite the cancelation story in.
There was also a massive time shift coming up, it just wouldn’t work.
Actor contracts etc the longer a show goes on($$), and the time lapse between book 6 and 7. Still would be more than amazing to see on screen. And if one has seen the show and not read the books I cannot recommend them highly enough.
well that's not something they can really do with a single movie like Spaceballs 2.
Masbe that was the core of the issue.
