well, I wouldn’t hope for that. SU is a CN Studios show, so if it gets cancelled on CN, its done. There’s not really any reason it would ever be sold or picked up by another network

As frustrating as CN’s scheduling can be, its really the more preferable network for SU, imo. Their shows have a pretty good budget and a lot more freedom than most other cartoon networks allow (pretty much every other network is scrip-based, not storyboard-based). 

As for scheduling, Disney took 4 years to air 2 seasons of Gravity Falls and it had enormous hiatuses, with an entire year break between seasons 1 and 2, and anywhere from 2 weeks to 3-4 months between episodes. Nickelodeon doesn’t have a great track record either, if you look at how they treated Legend of Korra

Streaming services tend to not have a lot of money to produce shows so their quality tends to be lower than CN’s shows or have much fewer episodes (and thus longer hiatuses) to compensate for a smaller budget. They also tend to have inconsistent release schedules. Look at Bee & Puppycat or Bravest Warriors (whose last reason ended in 2014 and the newest season won’t start until later this year). Even a service like Netflix tends to dump an entire season at once and then its a year (at least) until the next one).

I dunno. As much as I don’t like CN’s hiatuses and scheduling patterns, I feel like the alternatives are much worse and even if the scheduling was better elsewhere, I definitely wouldn’t want to trade what SU is able to be on CN for a consistent schedule (since I probably wouldn’t like the show much anymore).

I would say dumping the entire season at once is actually netflix’s STRENGTHS. They talk about that a lot in the Bojack interview on the Nerdist Podcast. How knowing a show is going to be binge watched and also knowing that no matter what the episodes will be watched in order was a huge benefit that allowed them to write differently than they normally would.

Given that SU is a very slow and deliberately paced show I’ think it would actually benefit a lot from that if it could. (though that’s entirely hypothetical)
