“It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season,” DeKnight wrote on X/Twitter. “Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!”

They mention that it is "an old Disney scam", are there other examples of this? I can't think of any but I'm curious to know how those other examples played out.

    Interesting. I looked up this show and it looks like it kept the same creator credits. I do wonder if there was some secret behind the scenes things going on, or if some other shenanigans happened (obviously if it's supposed to be a secret, it's hard to find.)

    I'm not being sarcastic, check out every single Disney series that runs longer than a few seasons. Every. Single. One.

    Much like a CEO that gets fired by the shareholders if he misses and avenue for profit, I have no doubt that CEO would fire producers that didn't do the same thing.
