I imagine this will p*ss some people off, as the way I heard it
the show ended on a cliffhanger. 

 
They usually do end like that when cancelled, rather than being
able to reach a planned ending. If a show's fans are lucky, they do
get a conclusion via a feature-length episode (or more than one) or
via novelisations, but for most shows it is simply a case of "game
over" and the show's makers move on to something else.
 
Despite what some people in Hollyweird like to claim, a show's /
movie's fans are completely irrelevant to anything, especially on
regular TV where they aren't paying anything to watch it. It's
solely about making money for the fat cats at the top - not
"enough" money being made to satisfy them, and the show / movie
gets cancelled. 

 
Of course, it's no different in any other big business. The
Sanitarium company here in New Zealand is planning to stop making
some of their breakfast cereals (and cut some jobs), mainly because
they don't want to spend the money upgrading the equipment that makes
it versus how much they make selling the cereal. Meanwhile the fat
cats in management get bigger and bigger pay packets and bonuses.
 
Similarly, the government has told many of their organisations /
departments that they need to save money, so some are firing actual
workers rather than cutting the obscenely excessive management
salaries and bonuses.
 
 

Our (federal) government has allegedly grown 25% since the Liberals
took power in 2015, meaning that there are that many more reliable
Liberal voters and much more being spent by the government on civil
service salaries. I hope the next government does some very serious
pruning of the civil service!
