101 Dalmatian Street Cancelled At Disney: “No Current Plans For Second Season” According To Miklos Weigert
Last week it was the International Animation Festival at Annecy besides getting more info on the limbo series Vikingskool with new artwork, upcoming comedies The Unstoppable Yellow Yeti and Hero 50/50 and announcements on Disney+’s Kizazi Moto and Disney TVA’s Kiff where revealed
However the question for many fans of the Cadmen Town comedy series 101 Dalmatian Street was still a mistery since it’s season finale on February 22, 2020, there where no news on a potential second season, during a time it was revealed that the series went trought renewal limbo, for a time Disney Branded Television mentioned that since the show wasn’t made by their divisions and was made by European Disney they didn’t knew and for them the show was cancelled here’s why the show hasn’t been promoted since it’s debut on Disney XD
Sadly during that time i was put in contact with a spokeperson from Disney Channels Worldwide Europe and they said that the show was cancelled since 2020, the show did poorly on views on Disney+ and Disney XD USA airings have been low.
Later in the evening Miklos Wright announced via Twitter that the show had no plans for a second season.
This news while saddening don’t come as surprising for fans of the series, the show had a troubled history of release, the show was originally going to go to Disney Channels in 2019 but due the sucess of Disney+ the show was moved there, also Disney+ USA had no interest in marketing the series and decided to dump it with no announcement, it was added by surprise on February 2020 on Disney+, merchandise of the series was Europe Exclusive with not intentions of making it Worldwide in Disney Stores.
Omg... the show they first exclusively released in Europe, then months after the conclusion of the first season in the States (either on a paywalled streaming service or a channel infamous for being where shows go to die; with no promotion on either btw) didnt do well in the US based on numbers?
Not like ALL the US fans and even people who'd hear about it had already used fansites to watch the entire content of the show months before Disney made ig officially avaiable for NA.... (and started gathering Data on it.)
Just shows how monumentally bad the people in charge of managing this process where.. probably the same who decided the show doesnt deserve an actual chance in the form of a second season that'd be run in the US on the main channel.
FFS, fans were streaming the channel to US friends so they could just WATCH the episodes when they were fresh
