I'm quittin' unless Jo comes back!!  ;p

 What do you mean comes back? She's not going anywhere.

All the main long-term casts' contracts come up right now. While I expect nearly all of them to reup, you can always one expect one or two surprises from people who don't re-sign. I doubt it would be Jo, but you can never be sure...

This may actually get me to check this out...

 You should. I quite enjoyed season 1 of the show.

These days, it's mostly a "time permitting" situation...`

At this point, I think the odds that we ever see a second season of this
series are incredibly low...

 I'm not sure about that but not for at least a year if it does come
back.
 

Instead, I expect some of the characters to pop up in season #4 of "The
Boys".

 That's possible.

Likely. I've already heard rumors about it.

What - No news on how Disney cheated their way through the shareholder
Board vote?!

 They aren't going to talk about that. We will have to see what happens
in 2025 when there is almost certainly a repeat in the runup to the
vote.
 

I do love how this means that Disney is totally f**ked going forward! -
They are DOOMED!!  [ha ha ha ha]

 I don't want them to be doomed. I want Eiger and company to change
their ways and concentrate on making good movies/shows that the
viewers want to see and quit worrying so much about DEI. If you want
to test that out then pick a movie/show and put your DEI and marketing
efforts into that show/movie and see if it can draw in new audiences.
If it can't then putting DEI forward as the most important agenda for
any new show or movie seems like a horrible idea.

Once a leadership has shown they can't hack it, they need to be replaced - there is almost no chance they learn from previous mistakes. And Iger has now f**ked up *twice*, so I doubt he's changing his ways...
