My Lady Jane dropped its full season on June 27, 2024, on Prime Video. The Acolyte wrapped its weekly rollout of Season 1 on July 16 on Disney+. That means My Lady Jane was given less than two months for people to find it and watch all eight episodes. The Acolyte had just a little over a month from the finale airing to its cancelation date.
It’s my job to watch TV, so I often watch shows before or right as they premiere. However, the average TV lover has other things going on. They might not get to a show for a few months, and now they come to find out it’s canceled, so why would they bother watching it at all?
