    'Etoile' Canceled After One Season at Amazon Prime Video,
    Despite Two-Season Order
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    The first bow of "Etoile" is also its last. Prime Video has
    canceled the ballet series from "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"
    creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, despite
    the streamer initially greenlighting the production with a
    two-season commitment.
     The final pirouette comes roughly six weeks after the series
    first debuted in late April and earned generally positive
    notices from critics. All eight episodes were dropped
    simultaneously on Prime Video. That binge-release model of
    premiering all episodes at once has become a bit of a rarity
    for Amazon's original programming.

Yikes. And this right after "The Wheel of Time's" cancellation just the other day.
I think Prime Video is going to be getting out of all programming that's not peak "Dad TV" (e.g. Reacher, The Boys, Cross). They haven't done well outside of Dad TV, and it really feels like they are drastically rolling back their original programming budgets in the last few months.
