14 Seasons is still kinda young in terms of current, 'long-running series.'

Law and Order: SVU is on Season 24, and according to Deadline the other day, is looking at a 3-season renewal from NBC.

NCIS is on Season 20, and was recently renewed for Season 21.

And Grey's Anatomy just got renewed fro Season 20 the other day.

>"The original plan was about five seasons, and we feel like we're still on track for that," co-creator Ashley Lyle tells EW in our latest cover story. Although Lyle says "there's always room for things," she clarifies that "we don't really see this as being more than a five-season show. I think that there are shows that can go forever, but I think that when you're telling such a deeply serialized story and it's about these characters' lives, you want to reach a satisfying conclusion and not just drag things out forever. This isn't really one of those setup shows where it can go anywhere. So far, we've been really on track. Season 2 is largely what we always planned, but you do make a lot of discoveries along the way and so it's always a little bit surprising."

TVLine's article says it's only been renewed for a six-episode Season 3, with the possibility of adding more episodes.

As they bumped it up to 14 for Season 2, and now shrinking it down for Season 3, makes me assume this could be on the way out.

I hope they give it a proper ending, rather than holding out on the hopes for a Season 4.

Yeah, it's like Peacock is allergic to going more than two seasons themselves.

A.P. Bio cancelled after two seasons on NBC- picked up for 2 more seasons on Peacock before being cancelled; Saved by the Bell and Rutherford Falls both cancelled after two seasons; Girls5Eva cancelled after two seasons, though saved by Netflix.

I unfortunately expect Killing It to suffer a similar fate.

Deadline's article has some more interesting bits.

>The move is a shock as it’s one of the first original series to move between rival streaming services but Deadline hears that the Tina Fey-produced series was actually canceled at Peacock before Netflix swooped in to save it.

>Although the comedy series, which stars Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Busy Philipps and Paula Pell, has been well received critically and was arguably the closest thing to an awards contender that the streamer had, Girls5eva wasn’t one of its most-watched shows and didn’t bring in the same audiences that the likes of dramas Bel Air and Dr. Death did.

>We hear that Susan Rovner, who oversees both NBC and Peacock in her role as Chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, was forced to make the tough decision to prioritize other shows and cancel it after its second season finished in June.

>Fey and Universal Television were also behind Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which moved from NBC, where it had been developed, to Netflix. Bela Bajaria, who oversaw that move in her former role as head of Universal Television, is now head of global television at Netflix.
