Didn't most of the props burn down making it unfeasible?

Never heard of that, I just heard the budget to make a production like Age of Resistance and the views it was drawing in was so disproportional that it was unjustifiable to greenlight a season 2 and spend all that money for maybe a fraction of the views of many much, much cheaper productions. Makes sense, but sad Age of Resistance didn't catch more attention, it certainly deserved it.

Thats just the internet being salty. Last official word from the Henson company is they are ready anytime someone wants to fund it.

If true, what a waste of money. All the sets and puppets were build from the ground up just for the show and future episodes. :(

Right. While I’m sure it’s not cheap, a lot of the money is already spent building all those sets and props. I’ve got to imagine Season 2 would be cheaper. But in this era it seems an expensive show kind of needs to hit right away or it stands little chance of continuing.
